American RAPPER first TIME reaction to Chris Stapleton Sings the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVII

[@joaquinmccurty4762]

Dude took his hat off and placed it on his heart. Showing respect. As a Marine combat vet, I'll keep that in my brain. Although, you didn't have to, you did it anyway. I didn't have to join the Marines. But I did it anyway. That little gesture, means a lot. It makes our sacrifice worth it.

As a daughter of a 30 year Vietnam vet (Air Force) and mom of 2 sons in active service (Army & Marines), I thank you for your service and sacrifice. We, the Patriots of the USA, will NOT let y’all down. Thank you, sir!

[@debrafrisbey6902]

Thank you for your service to our country and supporting our land and our people. God bless you!

[@aaronbrady4937]

It's nice to know there are still people showing respect to our National Anthem. Much love .

[@debortahwelch9298]

This is how I want to here our National Anthem sang. A man and his guitar. Honest and real. Cried the whole time.

[@mesmith01]

He brought me to tears and I'm not even American.

[@keithschwanke3384]

THANK YOU!!! Taking off your hat immediately almost got me wound up right from the start! So many ppl have no respect these days, so I appreciated that immensely!🇺🇸

[@cieramist1]

This is one time that I have to say "THANK YOU" for not pausing. Thank you for showing respect to our National Anthem.

[@CGC1954]

Absolutely the best live performance of all time at Super Bowl

[@lynette.]

Chris Stapleton is an incredible singer.

[@shellyjones9833]

Thank you for taking your hat off! It bothers me when people don't or put their hand over their heart. I will always stand and place my heart over my heart! I respect the flag!

[@orknbeans]

From a veteran, thank you for removing your hat. Means a lot.

[@michelleboussiala4470]

Chris Stapleton is a beast! He is his own genre. “Tennessee Whiskey”, “I Was Wrong”, “Cold”, “Fire Away (must watch official video) just for starters 😊

[@judyrogers9313]

First time seeing you guys, and I got to say everything you said was spot on! The way you said it was well thought out and very well said. Thank you very much and God bless America.

[@alexwyatt7800]

all i gotta say is "Id rather go blind" by Etta James

[@sharonullom2461]

Someone posted right after his performance - ‘alert the media - Chris Stapleton just won the Super Bowl!’

[@tayray98]

Chris envokes a reverence...music spiritual, hence why music is amazing. Good reaction!

[@markmars1587]

I'm not even American, I cried with the power and pride for country.

[@janyceseahorn4013]

Amen on privilege to be American! We shall recover. Vote💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@pamela1144]

Y'all nailed it. This is the greatest country ever in history. The American people are not the American, jacked up, corrupt government. We are the last bastion of freedom. My family served and some gave it all for our country. Yes, pull together people. We are in this together!

[@perijetton9275]

I still get the goosebumps when I see this 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@IamNuideas2001]

Thank you for taking off your hat for this. This is respectful to those who gave their lives in defense of this country and the flag that represents it. Appreciate it. And this is the best version of this song "I've" ever heard as well.

[@redangel169]

America is far from perfect, but its full of people who are trying...you both said it so well. We will stumble, we do stumble, but the good parts, those are worth fighting for. ❤

[@McLeod2022]

very needed statement. we fail, but the best of me is still trying to be a better man, father, friend... i am still trying

[@moopsmamma7459]

We played Chris Stapleton's "Starting Over" for my grandmother ALL THE TIME! She also loved Marcelito Pomoy's version of Beauty & the Beast (from AGT shocking). After the Super Bowl, I couldn't wait to play this National Anthem for her. She loved it. We were able to play it for 3 months. She called Chris "That's My Boy!" She passed away that May at 109. We played Chris' National Anthem as her Funeral Processional song & rolled her out of the church to the "Star Spangled Banner!" It was Awesome!

[@mikehood5210]

lets just get Chris to sing it each Super Bowl . . .

[@sherribrock2726]

This was from the most recent Super Bowl. It’s the best version I have ever heard! You definitely need to do more Chris Stapleton. He is multitalented!!

[@michaelphipps8647]

Chris a mic and a guitar!!! Wow!

[@derekbrodd5810]

Sends chills through my body every time!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@marciaramirez3791]

Hearing The National Anthem has always been an emotional experience for me, even as a small child, but this rendition by Chris Stapleton touched me more than any I've ever heard, at 76yrs old that's saying a lot.

[@vivienneclarke2421]

I watched it live,I watched it replayed after the game,and I'm STILL watching reactions..... And when I see my Eagles~Nick Siriani,Jason Kelce,with tears streaming down their faces,I cry along with them..... Chris Stapleton... Legend. BEST version of our beautiful National anthem I've ever heard in my 58 yrs.....

[@darkhorse2615]

United we stand...divided we fall.

[@pamela1144]

Most beautiful rendition...yes absolutely 💯

[@user-dc8iz6bx7i]

Yes we are connected to one another and everything else. Thank you. I love you.

[@gerd9126]

I'm not even American but that was unbelievable, that was the America that I was brought up to respect as my second country, CS is a national treasure...The old America is still there..

[@farn451]

I'm an Englishman and I was moved to tears. M'Fcker's all soul.

[@heartwork8318]

Thank you! Great reaction! Chris is another rabbit hole I love traveling through! This man has soul! I think my favorite original song is “Cold” and I love his cover of “Whipping Post” by the Allman Brothers. I have never been a fan of country music but this guy is another genre bender! Thanks again guys! Happy birthday America 🎊🎉🎇🎆

[@starlaryer4165]

I don't think there has been a time in my life that this song has not brought to tears.

[@SparkimusPrime]

Chris has one of the best voices, ever. The man is an legend. The emotion in his voice just sends me. I’m not super patriotic, but he made me feel that song more than I ever have. I hope you guys do more from him!

[@reneerocha1796]

Stripped it down. The words are what counts. And he does it beautifully. 🇺🇸

[@think1959]

DAMMM, first time in a long time I have teared up during the national anthem. Great job #chrisstapleton

[@Cchan53]

This and Whitney Houston the 2 best ever most emotional rendutions...Whitneys is what this anthem shoould sound like loud, strong and passionate! RIP Whitney !!!

[@Cchan53]

Totally agree...❤️

[@meezursrule]

So glad you've reacted to Chris Stapleton! You are at the edge of a very deep rabbit hole... this guy is amazing, he just *emotes*. He crosses genres....some people say he is "country"....but he is soooo soulful, and there is so much blues infused in his music...

[@SamoanObsidian]

Stapleton makes me cry all of the time. Best national anthem since Whitney Houston, in history.

[@mathiasness9635]

God bless America, and all of its citizens I for one I’m truly grateful to be born in this country.

[@johndugger1028]

AN EPIC PROFORMANCE

[@christianjustin20]

As an Eagles fan seeing Nick Siriani cry during this national anthem is a top 10 moment in our teams history.

[@susanconstable2113]

I bawled like a baby when I watched this live! His tears just sent me over the edge! I’m a cowboy fan and I was rooting for your eagles so hard! When it doesn’t affect my team I root for my division. Seems like I’ve been rooting for you guys these past few years. Plus I’m a Pennsylvania girl living in the heart of steeler country.

[@kevinexline5392]

I hate Philly with a passion being a diehard Cowboys fan since I was a kid, and likewise can’t stand Siriani. But when I saw him start crying, it made me tear up like crazy. It’s one of those moments where you’re like “damn it, on the field, I HATE you. As a fellow American sharing this moment, I love you.”

[@necessarydebates6484]

Bro on the left preached. Well said. Great reaction guys. React to more Chris Stapleton, he's goated.

[@AmbiguousArtist]

I shed a tear every time. That was a great version... Happy freedom day

[@anitasmith7764]

To me this is by far the best rendition.

[@michellejackson6679]

wow.. no one has put up a comment.. since I have.. but I'm putting up a comment.. today... I saw the Francis Scott Key bridge go down about a month ago.. Francis Scott Key wrote our National Anthem.. I'm from Delaware but have lived in Maryland for 30 plus yrs.. I went to work over that bridge many a time.. so sad that it's gone.. Know our history... this song means everything. It's our Anthem.. and thank you so much for taking your hat off for it.. that's respect. I truly hope and pray that when my boys (3) of them hear our Anthem.. they will show respect. And hope my girls r raising their babies the same way.

[@deanclaassens3552]

I’ve said it a thousand times and I’ll say it a thousand more! By far the best national anthem performance of all time!!!! I love you Whitney! But this is better!!! I said what I said!

[@marcbates3663]

I do not care for most country music, but I could listen to him for hours. The man has a soul and his singing is amazing. Tons of great songs and his live performances are better than many of the recorded versions. New Rabbit hole

[@Trac489]

It's so great. Love for your country.

[@katrinakent1684]

You won’t be disappointed with the Chris Stapleton rabbit hole. Sometimes I Cry (Bing Lounge) and Fire Away (official video version) and Tennessee Whiskey/Drink You Away (CMA 2015) with Justin Timberlake in particular, are crazy good!

[@susanconstable2113]

This performance gave me chills. I watched it live. Beautiful

[@sarahanderson8635]

The Chris Stapleton well is deep! I don't care for his songs that sound like current pop country but his bluesy rock, as well as his ballads, are superb! Death Row is one of my favorites!!!

[@heartwork8318]

I love “Death Row” and I love his bluesy stuff as well! His guitar can sing as well!❤❤

[@RT8558]

The best live rendition of the Anthem hands down.

[@lynette.]

Very appropriate never heard it sung with so much soul. You all celebrate my birthday hope you are having a good time.

[@thehangingparsiple5692]

His voice is SMOKE. 😮🎉 How emotional you got, Pegasus 😊

[@michellejackson6679]

this past superbowl.. February 2023...if you don't love this. you don't love our country and this amazing rendition of our anthem. I never thought anyone would come close to Whitney doiing our Anthem... but Chris did

[@ginapicot2105]

Amen! I think of all the people that served and sacrificed and some gave it all. My Dad was in The Korean War.

[@williamalexander7481]

He did an amazing job on the song.

[@juliayoung537]

One man with his guitar! He looked different because he usually wears his iconic cowboy hat 😊 Thank you so much for taking your cap off during the anthem ❤

[@travisrowland3303]

The hands down best version of this song. Had me shedding tears as well.

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

Chris is an American icon. Great reaction on the 4th.

[@kathleenmargolis5833]

Loved your true reaction! We are all so proud to be American !!!!!

A beautiful reaction to the most beautiful version of this song. Chris killed it and so did you guys. 🙏

[@kurtzbomb]

FINALLY CHRIS STAPLETON!! The only rule I have for you is any song of his you react to must be a live version

[@McLeod2022]

my only add is Death Row is better in studio w the post processing eerie sounds. outside of that... i agree... the man is best live and untouched by post work.

[@michaelmero426]

Underrated comment! Too many people are set on studio albums…but the live versions are almost always infinitely better! So long as the person can sing lol. Shows where true talent lies

[@anniem169]

Fire Away being the exception. Official video a must

[@quintondees4501]

BEST, "realist" ive ever heard.... AMAZING, CHRIS STAPLETON IS A LEGEND, keeo checking him out!

[@slackalmighty3598]

I was in feeling good by the time the "Big Game" started, but this rendition brought me to tears. It always brings me tears in big situations, but Stapeltons rendition is just so heartfelt. Respect to my man for removing his hat, whether for the respect or just trolling.

[@michelemolek1705]

Chris is THE best. “Sometimes I Cry”, “Cold”, “I Was Wrong”, “Tennessee Whiskey”, “Death Row” to get you started.

[@krw73]

Huge credit and thank you to you both for just letting it play and taking it in without pauses. You guys rock.

[@ryderjohnson1293]

I love the story at the end. It was 2021. It was the 4th of July and my beautiful wife married me the next day...but that night, the city of Galveston, TX lit that bitch up too. We sat on the balcony of our canal rental and watched...and i felt...secure. Secure in our future as a country, as a republic that works in democracy, and that we are all more similar than different.

[@wendythrockmorton1811]

It shows the impact of what he did when the entire stadium was silent while he was singing! You can normally still hear the murmur of conversation during anyone else's performance, but when the crowd joins in on the last word...OMG!

[@cindylawrence1200]

I appreciate men as well as women reacting to how something makes them feel - much respect!

[@flovin123]
