AceShowbiz - Rachel Platten has become the latest singer to screw up the U.S. National Anthem. The "Fight Song" singer was performing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Chicago Red Stars vs Utah Royals National Women's League Soccer game on Saturday, April 14, when she messed up the first line of the song.

After replacing "dawn" with "stars", she quickly realized her error, and the 36-year-old restarted the tune before awkwardly stopping again and asking for the correct lyric. "I'm so sorry," she said. "Could someone tell me the next line?"

Editors' Pick

Red-faced Platten recovered and finished the song in style, receiving rapturous applause from soccer fans at the game.

The visiting team from Chicago went on to win the game 1-0.
