Independent artist Loomis claimed she didn’t know when her explicit gaffe during the national anthem would be livestreamed.
Loomis, the daughter of a veteran, was invited to sing the national anthem at the Free and Equal Elections presidential debate, which was held between three independent candidates on Wednesday.
While reaching for a high note on the lyric “and the red glow of the rocket” in the first verse during a now-viral moment, her voice betrayed her and cracked horribly, causing the singer to exclaim, “I screwed up.” I fucked up everything, can I go? Can I come back please?’
After being told the debate was “live,” she immediately returned to the anthem before chiming in seconds later: “I got too nervous” before finishing strong.
“I really sing, I’m a good singer,” she defended herself before TMZ on Friday, saying he only had the day before to practice.
Loomis also explained that he started his performance too early in the debate and the producer yelled at him that they weren’t ready yet, so he was under the impression that they could re-record the performance if necessary.

“Since I was a little girl, I’ve always said that I don’t want to sing the national anthem, it’s the scariest thing I’ve ever been,” she told the tabloid. ‘I am the daughter of a veteran. So dad, I’m sorry, I didn’t want to ruin the national anthem.
She said she then became “nervous” and “scared” and it took over.
“Everyone is standing, very serious,” he said. ‘Everyone is silent. It’s scary,” explained the singer, who has an average of 120 monthly listeners.
‘It’s so serious that it’s not like your own show when you’re yourself or expressing yourself. It’s like you’re performing for the entire nation.’
Despite the mistake, Loomis said he still “really sang it well.”
She also revealed that Good Morning America asked her to sing the national anthem again and she agreed. He also said he will have time to practice before his next performance.

The singer also launched into an impromptu performance of the parts she messed up to show her fans and haters that she could hit the notes and reminded people that “imperfections are some of the parts that people feel bad about too.” more connected.”
“I want all singers to know that sometimes you can fail, you can play the wrong note, you can do anything, but you’re still bad,” he concluded.
Loomis is not the first singer to botch the Star-Spangled Banner, as Fergie did in 2018 during an NBA All-Star Game, when players were caught trying to stifle laughter.
To this day, Fergie’s performance is still considered the worst performance of all time.
