When Reba McEntire performs the national anthem at Sunday’s Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas, it will be a journey 50 years in the making.
That’s because the legend’s career started when she was discovered while singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the 1974 National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City. Taylor Swift is looking back on one of her early live performances.
On Sunday (June 11), the 33-year-old pop superstar took to social media after her two sold-out Eras Tour concerts at Detroit’s Ford Field to reminisce about her first time appearing at the approximately 65,000-capacity stadium when she was just 16. Ahhhhh Detroit that was so much fun!! First time I performed at Ford Field was singing the anthem there in 2006 and I remember thinking it felt impossible for a place to be that big, I was sooo insanely nervous,” Swift wrote on Instagram alongside a gallery of snapshots from the Detroit Eras show.
