There’s one song that every singer dreams of performing – and these stars have done it. The Star-Spangled Banner, also known as The National Anthem, has been performed (and judged) by various artists. It was recently announced, that Demi Lovato will do the honors and perform the tune during the Super Bowl LIV on February 2.
In honor of her latest gig, let’s take a look back at her and the other Latinos who have carried the note and put their own twist on the song.
