NFL Fans Save Tigirlily Gold from Would-Be Disastrous National Anthem Performance [Watch]

Tigirlily Gold relied heavily on the crowd during their National Anthem performance ahead of the Denver Broncos' game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Empower Field on Sunday (Sept. 15).

The country duo was ready for their pre-game duties, but when they opened their mouths to sing, there was no audio in the stadium's speakers.

Kendra and Krista Slaubaugh handled the unfortunate moment with grace and even shared the video on social media. They chose to focus on the fans' willingness to step up and sing the anthem a cappella, noting it was a moment they'll never forget.

"When a technical difficulty turns into 76,000 people singing the National Anthem together," they write on the video of their performance. "Denver, thanks for helping us sing along."

Eventually, the two were handed another microphone and they were able to finish out the song in perfect harmony.

It's not the first time Tigirlily Gold have sung "The Star-Spangled Banner" before a sporting event. In fact, the 2024 ACM New Country Duo of the Year winners took on the esteemed track at a North Dakota State football game in 2017 and executed it flawlessly. The pair are natives of North Dakota.

Country Stars Are a Good Pick to Sing National Anthem

There are several country singers who have taken on what is arguably one of the most difficult songs to sing. Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton and more have stepped up to the plate to honor America for numerous events.

In fact, the Super Bowl has enlisted country artists for the pre-game National Anthem the last three years in a row. A singer for this year's big game has yet to be announced, but don't be surprised if they are Music City based.
