Reba McEntire has had a legendary career in music and entertainment, with more than 75 million records sold, a trio of Grammys and a Golden Globe nomination in 2004 for her sitcom Reba.

On Sunday, she added another feather to the cap of her amazing career, performing the national anthem ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.

And folks on social media were digging it:

Nobody is ever likely to top Whitney Houston’s epic anthem performance from 1991, the golden standard to which all other renditions of the song are compared. And Aretha Franklin brought the house down in 2006.

But McEntire brought her own spin to the performance, with her famous country twang and charm adding personality to the song. It was ultimately a fairly straightforward and snappy rendition, which is never a bad thing.

Still hit the over, though.

And now, it’s time for the football.
