Faith Hill Forgot The Lyrics To The National Anthem Just Moments Before Performing

Faith Hill is all smiles while arriving for her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in New York City on Tuesday night (February 1).

The 54-year-old singer and actress kept warm in in a wool coat ahead of the show where she opened up about starring in Paramount+’s 1883.

During the show, Faith also revealed that she once forgot the lyrics to the National Anthem just moments before she had to perform it.

Recalling performing the iconic song during the Super Bowl in 2000, Faith said that it was “the most extraordinary amount of pressure ever.”

“Singing the national anthem for the Super Bowl was terrifying. However, when I sang it, the Tennessee Titans happened to make it to the Super Bowl that same year. And I had accepted the honor, I was asked, and I said, ‘Oh, my gosh yes.’ And I was like, ‘What did I just do?’ It’s terrifying,” she shared.

Faith went on, explaining that just moments before, she drew a blank on the lyrics and had to ask what they were.

“It’s one of those songs you know so well and you think, I’ll never forget the lyrics. This happened to me before. It was at a playoff game many years prior. I was singing at a Dallas playoff game, the beginning of my career, and I was asked to sing the national anthem, playoff game. And I’m walking out to the center of the field with this very generous guard, this woman that was walking me out, and I say to her, and this is televised, ‘Would you happen to know just the first word of the national anthem?’”
