BEST National Anthem at the Kentucky Derby?

What a beautiful moment for Carly Pearce Saturday at the Kentucky Derby!!

As a native of Kentucky (Taylor Mill), it must have been a thrill and an honor to sing that anthem at such a traditional event. She was just stunning in her baby blue dress and fascinator hat. She even shared some behind-the-scenes pictures on her Instagram page of her hair extensions. Something that as a woman I appreciate so much.

Many are calling Carly’s soulful performance the best rendition of the national anthem yet at the Kentucky Derby. If you missed the stellar performance, you can see the video by clicking HERE.

Here are some of the comments:

“What an angelic voice. Best rendition ever.”

“Awesome rendition. ️ USA”

“That is the way our national anthem should be sung.”

WAY TO GO CARLY!
