The New Orleans native is a singer, songwriter, and composer. He may have just given the “best rendition of the national anthem”
That viewers have ever heard, according to the audience. “That was legit the best rendition of the national anthem I have ever heard @SuperBowlLIX,” a user on X tweeted.
Another concurred, writing: “I haven’t heard a better performance of the national anthem in a long time.” Another wrote: “That was one of the absolute best rendition of The National Anthem!”
“That might have been the best rendition of the national anthem ever, Jon Baptiste. #SuperBowlLIX,” commented another.
Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle gave a jazz-infused rendition of “Star-Spangled Banner” that captured the essence of New Orleans before Batiste’s performance.
