Carrie Underwood wasn’t the only GRAMMY-winning superstar making headlines for a patriotic musical performance on MLK Day.
Ohio State Buckeyes may have emerged the victors over Notre Dame at Monday’s the College Football Playoff final in Atlanta (January 20), but the biggest touchdown of the night arguably happened before the game even started.
Tapped to kick off the festivities, Coco Jones was on hand to render a stunning performance of the U.S. national anthem.
Accompanied by EMMY-winning musical director Adam Blackstone, Jones – having previously shown off her soaring vocal chops by performing the historic tune at 2024’s NBA All-Star Weekend and Wrestlemania respectively – reminded attendees of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and viewers at home just why she was the perfect pick for the job.
