Charlie Puth Delivers Stellar National Anthem Performance at Super Bowl

Charlie Puth just performed “The Star Spangled Banner” before the Super Bowl (Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots). Reactions on X seem to be mostly positive.

While some people made note of his casual fashion (and others thought the rendition was a touch too low-key), there was a lot of high praise for the two-time Billboard Music Award winner. See some of the reactions to the performance below.

• “One of the best performances of the national anthem I have seen in a long time. Great job Charlie Puth” (source)
• “Now THAT is how you perform the #NationalAnthem. An amazing rendition by #CharliePuth. It was touching seeing him clearly overwhelmed by the moment at the end.” (source)
• “Well done Charlie Puth. Nice to hear the anthem treated nicely. I do love the flyover, too” (source)
• “Charlie Puth just finished substituting a 5th period English class and showed up to sing the National Anthem. Mad versatile.” (source)
