Chris Stapleton's Super Bowl anthem rendition gets teary, ecstatic reception: 'It will never be done better'

The Chris Stapleton exhibit showcases the singer's rise to fame, having started out his career as a songwriter and background singer and achieving success where he is now.

Country music star Chris Stapleton lit up Super Bowl LVII's pregame with a moving rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" that brought fans, coaches and players to tears inside Glendale, Arizona's State Farm Stadium Sunday night and roused a slew of praise across the web.

On Twitter, actor and former California congressional candidate Antonio Sabato, Jr., wrote the following day: "Chris Stapleton delivered one of the best National Anthem performances." 

"Chris Stapleton really should’ve been named the MVP," Barstool Sports tweeted of the performance.

"Chris Stapleton … BEAUTIFUL," Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II chimed in.

Country music singer Parker McCollum wrote, "Chris Stapleton is the greatest singer of all time and you can’t change my mind."

Author and former Bill Clinton accuser Juanita Broaddrick said, "It will never be done better. Chris Stapleton was perfect." Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., taking a slightly more political spin, said, "Chris Stapleton just sang the most beautiful national anthem at the Super Bowl. But we could have gone without the rest of the wokeness."

Other Twitter users called it the "only part of the Super Bowl worth watching," while others said the performance gave them "chills."
