McEntire also discussed her set in an interview with Apple Music, saying she's been preparing for the performance regularly.

"I’ve been singing the national anthem in the shower and when we get in the car," she said referencing car rides with her boyfriend, actorRex Linn, who's a "huge football fan."

"He’ll say, ‘OK, sing it one more time.’ I said, ‘I think I know the words real good right now, so I’m alright,’" McEntire explained of her preparation process, noting that it "helps" to "know that everybody's gonna be singing it with me" at the stadium.

"If I know they’re singing along, and they’re remembering and having fun too, that’s easier on me, but just to be prepared when you walk out there," said the "I'm a Survivor" performer, who's been singing the national anthem at sporting events since she was a teenager.
