  Speaker 6: You know, it's a real honor. But it's a lot
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: of stress because of the people who have gone before you.

• 28:04
  Speaker 10: are definitely my favorites, top favorites. I also, I just
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: got to throw it in and I'm sorry. I also
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: heard it was not at the super Bowl, but Jasmine
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: Sullivan did. Yeah, lift every voice to see it. She
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: is like your favorite singer's favorites. She's amazing.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: So everything she does inspires me.
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: So that's my favorite, regardless of you, for sure.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Whitney and Ribot, Yeah, well playing I love that.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: I heard Zach Wilde do it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Now everyone's like it was It was really really It's
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: just like a little segment of this solo, but it
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: was really well appreciated.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: It like ripping.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is something about me going up. I feel
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: like I'm going up mentally as well, like you know, appreciate.
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: This is you got here, Well, we're there and we're
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: examining things. We know how much this this not ways
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: on you guys, but you carry it with so much
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: pride when you think of the audience and how they
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: receive it. This this is one of those moments where
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: everyone's like it's starting right post. What do you want
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: the audience to feel from your performance?
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm know, happy, excited, get everybody ready
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: to go.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: I'm I kind of went with that's pretty stripped back.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: So it's just kind of kind of me singing a song.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: So it's just a song everyone knows and the song
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: everyone loves. And I don't know. I don't want to
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: like personal, I guess or you know, whatever, because we know.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not the best singer, but I don't know who
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: knows that. Who's Yeah, I get what I hear you.
• 30:06
  Speaker 11: I hear you, but I guess heart felt, heartfelt, and
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: really just because I care, that's.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: The most important thing to me.
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, that's a fantastic answer.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: I care, you know.
• 30:24
  Speaker 10: So I think I think what I want people to
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: you know. I mean, this particular song, you know, is
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: definitely from from the archives right of our culture and
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: our ancestors, and I think it's really you know, obviously
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: we hear the word representation used a lot, but I
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: think it is important, you know, And I think I
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: think what I want people to feel for me spiritually,
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: I want people to feel God that's that's what every performance,
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: you know, that's you know, I want people to feel
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: and whatever that means for them right a moment, you know,
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: and and I want people to feel, you know, like
• 30:56
  Speaker 10: obviously I'm not unaware that there are split opinions and
• 30:59
  Speaker 10: how people start about me singing this song, but you know,
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: I would like people to kind of move those things
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: from their heart and really just take a moment to
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: pause and to just to choose to choose love and
• 31:11
  Speaker 10: to choose togetherness in the moment, because you can. I
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: think you can choose peace, or you can choose turmoil
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: or stress or anxiety. And so I think if people
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: allow you know, themselves to be quiet and allow the
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: spirit to speak, allowed the moment to speak, then I
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: think we'll have a really beautiful moment of you know,
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: togetherness and love those things.
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: So I love that we're not for you, Reba, what
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: do you want the audience to feel?
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Informant?
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of dudes.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a lot of separation, there's a lot of
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: different opinions. But when we step up and sing these songs,
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: let's kind of forget all that crap. Let's join together
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: and be grateful and thankful, thankful for all the people
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: who have done what they have done to ensure our peace,
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: to ensure our freedom. Let's join together on something. And
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: when is a better time than at the super Bowl
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: with three vocalists getting out there baron or heart and
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: her soul and singing our little hearts out.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true, man, that makes that makes a lot
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: of sense. Reaba for you.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna keep it real, right, I.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Knew back and tied because of the TV show. Right,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: My mom's favorite TV show was always on, you know,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and in that time, you're still always on. So growing
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: up there it was like fresh frits.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: It was our show.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: We're watching you know, you're catching both vibes there spanning
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: multiple generations, Like how does how does that make you feel?
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Or to have a fan base that does truly span
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: multiple generations? Like my mom has attachment, I have attachment.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Kids will probably throw on a song one day, And
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: how does it make you feel to have that? What
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: does it mean to you to have a fan base
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: that spans multiple generations?
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: Very grateful, very thankful, very appreciative. Somebody said, what's your
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: fan base? Age?
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Just two to eighty two.
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: I guess there you go.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: You know, this is a full circle for me singing
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: the national anthem. I got my start singing the national
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: anthem in nineteen seventy four. Fifty years later, that was
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: at the National Finals Rodeo. Here we are at the
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: super Bowl and National Finals Rodeo is kind of the
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: super Bowl for the Rodeo, and so here I am
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: so honored, so grateful to get to sing the national
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: anthem at the super Bowl. So it's it's been a
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: lot of years, fifty and I am just beyond grateful.
• 33:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a blessing deal.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah big.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: I am not taking it for granted.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: You know, Post earlier you said how it's like it's
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: just me singing a song. It's stripping it down all that,
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: And then I think of the lift every voice and
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: singing the national anthem, and I think for the two
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: of you, it's it's making it your own right, just
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: like Post is talking about America is beautiful. How have
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: you navigated that pressure of me at your own but
• 34:00
  Speaker 9: being true to the song that everybody loves in a
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: moment like this, And I'll start with you, Well.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: When everybody sing along with right, So if I do
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: a little, you know, everybody's gonna welcome. She's gonna be
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: finished here in a minute night.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Part is. I can't do that.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: With it, but you know I want everybody to sing along,
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: enjoy it, not be taken out of the moment. When
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: she did that, where's she going with this? And you
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: know it's everybody's saying how long is it gonna be?
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: Is it gonna be a fast one? Is gonna be slow?
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: And I thought it would be kind of funny. Started
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: out real slow and they're chance.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Keep it on their toes emotions.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: That's what the artist.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Started off.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Just bring that all out.
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: Started off, there's over unders on, over unders on.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: Mind this is a quick chance to make some money.
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: Andrew you you talked a little bit about it, just
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: knowing the significance of the historical relevance, especially for the
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: back community.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: This has been a lot of fun.
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: How have you navigated really thinking about how you want
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: to attack this performance?
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: Well, you know it was a partnership actually, so Adam
• 35:32
  Speaker 10: Blackstone did the music for it. Yeah, he's so amazing,
• 35:35
  Speaker 10: you know, so it's so funny actually.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Him and I called him.
• 35:38
  Speaker 10: I was like, I was like, we need to pray
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: before we put this together. He was like all right, cool,
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: and I was like, so let's do it. And so
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: I've just navigated by, you know, like just I think
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: like you said, I you know, for me, it's reflective, contemplative,
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: you know what I mean. For me, A lot of
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: things are worship. You know, I say that a lot right,
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: redundant but thank you, Yeah, repeating theirs repeating, but no,
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: so that that's that's kind of how I'm approaching it,
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: you know what I mean. I'm sort of just you know,
• 36:11
  Speaker 10: and like she said, I want everybody to join in,
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: not just in the words, but also in the spirit,
• 36:17
  Speaker 10: you know what I mean. So that's kind of just yeah,
• 36:19
  Speaker 10: just delivering the song and the words. You know, I
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: don't want to I don't want to do too much
• 36:24
  Speaker 10: or too little, basket. I don't want to overthink it, right,
• 36:26
  Speaker 10: I mean like I want to be to the moment.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: You know, you have to be true to yourself. Yeah,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: it seems like, you know, the inspiring and uplifting is
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: like clearly what has made.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: You you especially.
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: Iconics on that.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: So now it feels like it's like.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: What does performing a song like lift every voice. You
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: sort of alluded to it, but what does it like
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: really truly mean for you guys for a stage anyways?
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: I think for me, the first thing that comes to
• 36:58
  Speaker 10: mind is like a genesis, right, you know, at least
• 37:01
  Speaker 10: for this period in this time, not a genesis for
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: the people who came before us. Like she said, she
• 37:06
  Speaker 10: talked about honoring the people who fought and the people
• 37:08
  Speaker 10: who actually lost their lives and who you know, not
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: to sing the song, to speak these words, to live
• 37:14
  Speaker 10: their lives, you know. I think it's I think it's
• 37:16
  Speaker 10: we don't we shouldn't lose sight of that, you know
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: what I mean, as we you know, move forward into
• 37:21
  Speaker 10: the future. But it also feels like a genesis because
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: it's really exciting. This song has only been sung three
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: times at the Super Bowl, the first time vy Alicia
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: Keys untelevised second time by the amazing both of them
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: amazing women sheryly Ralph last year, who is also my
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: birthday twin. Yeah, I know it's kind of kind of funny,
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: but yeah, so I think to be able to step
• 37:39
  Speaker 10: into their shoes and to honor these women and honor
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: the people who came before me is amazing, But it
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: feels like a genesis in the sense that I really,
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: truly do look forward to a future when it's less
• 37:51
  Speaker 10: of a conversation to sing the song just is a
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: normal space where all of our kids, you know what
• 37:56
  Speaker 10: I mean. It's it's very much a part of their
• 37:58
  Speaker 10: pantheon of music when they go to a sporting event
• 38:01
  Speaker 10: or you know, to an award show or whatever. It's
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: it's very normal for them to hear these words and
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: these different songs that represent a multitude of people, you know,
• 38:09
  Speaker 10: because that's what we look like, you know what I mean, right,
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: Representation is key always.
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: What I love about the Super Bowl on this stage
• 38:35
  Speaker 9: is that it is a celebration, of course, of the
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: two teams that are on the field, but also a
• 38:39
  Speaker 9: celebration of where culture and music and sports all come together.
• 38:43
  Speaker 9: I mean, no better representation than Post right now in
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: his Dallas Cowboys jacket and boo and booth.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Off camera, it was.
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: You and Posts riffing off each other because you know,
• 38:54
  Speaker 9: you had some questions for Posts about his fandom too.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't want to know, like, you know,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: there's this there's so many and he's like, you're a
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Cowboys guy throwing through, through and through, you know. But
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: like I know Travis Kelsey and we've talked about it
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: after Super Bowl. He was like, yeah, man, that post
• 39:10

• 39:10
  Speaker 3: He got me and that is that Your trampas amazing.

• 39:35
  Speaker 1: great guys, fine players.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: I did notice a couple of elbow indiscretions, but I
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: am right. So I don't know how how he got.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: There, but the tattoo artist was there there.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: He was there, sitting in the corner. And so I
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: was like, if if you'all beat me, I will get
• 39:59
