Former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks sent fans wild with her performance of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ before the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500.
Sparks, age 36, belted out a beautiful rendition of the American national anthem prior to the green flag dropping on ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.’
The ‘Tattoo’ singer belted out an inspired performance of the song which led to many positive comments on social media.
‘I forgot how great of a voice Jordin Sparks has. Incredible rendition of the National Anthem,’ wrote one user on X.
Another said, ‘Jordan [sic] Sparks may not be a HUGE star but she always bangs out a perfect National Anthem.’
‘Jordin Sparks doing the damn thing!!!’ one user celebrated.
