Minnie Driver flubbed the National Anthem when she performed it at a recent L.A. Dodgers game. The British actress/singer messed up the lyrics of "The Star-Spangled Banner" twice while she was taking the stage at Dodgers Stadium before the team took on St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night, June 6.
The embarrassing incident was caught in a video taken and shared online by someone in the crowd. In the one-minute clip, Driver makes her first mistake just seconds after the song started, replacing the word "watched" with "hailed" in the line that's supposed to say, "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming."
Her second mistake occurred shortly after, when she turned the line "oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave" into "oh, say can that star-spangled banner yet wave."
After the performance, Driver admitted her errors in a Twitter post. "Gosh, I sang 'hailed' instead of 'watched' during the Nat Anthem last night.What can I say? I am an imperfect human being. I think that's ok," she wrote.
In other news, Carlos Santana's own performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" makes headlines for completely different reason. The musician wowed fans attending Game 2 of the NBA finals when he played the song on electric guitar alongside wife Cindy Blackman who played the drums at Golden State Warriors' Oracle Arena on Sunday. There wasn't a lyric to be heard.
