Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan turned in an unprecedented and beautiful rendition of the National Anthem prior to this year’s Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The country music star vowed never to perform the National Anthem, unless it was at the Super Bowl. “I’ve said this forever, ‘I will never, ever sing the National Anthem,’” he told Apple Music’s Kelleigh Bannen. “It’s so hard. Except the Super Bowl, and I fully assumed. I mean, I’m not Chris Stapleton. I fully assumed they’re never going to ask me. So, this is the first.”
Eric said one factor was Jazmine’s voice that secured the deal. He also recently told the Los Angeles Times, “With what’s going on in America, it feels like an important time for a patriotic moment,” Church shared. “An important time for unity. The fact that I’m a Caucasian country singer and she’s an African-American R&B singer — I think the country needs that.”
