Many eagerly anticipate the singing of the national anthem at sporting events, particularly during major games when celebrities often take the stage.

At the Western Conference finals, attendees were treated to a memorable experience when country music sensation Keith Urban stepped onto the ice to perform “The Star-Spangled Banner,” a rendition that has left the internet buzzing with excitement.

Keith Urban, a four-time Grammy award-winning artist, has not only made a name for himself in the country music scene but is also known for his philanthropic endeavors.

Alongside his roles as an American Idol judge and a coach on The Voice Australia, Urban, originally from New Zealand, is also a proud citizen of the United States and has been married to actress Nicole Kidman since 2006.

For fans of the Nashville Predators, Urban’s performance added to a long list of unforgettable anthem renditions at Bridgestone Arena.

From Carrie Underwood to Vince Gill, the venue has hosted numerous stellar performances of the national anthem. When Urban was announced as the singer for the game against the Anaheim Ducks, anticipation reached a fever pitch.

Taking to the microphone in a yellow Predators jersey, Urban delivered a rendition infused with his own country flair.

As his powerful voice filled the arena, the crowd erupted with cheers, particularly during the iconic lines, “Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,” and “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”

After his performance, Urban expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, sharing with NHL Network’s Jon Morosi how honored he felt to sing the national anthem in Nashville.

Viewers, too, praised Urban’s rendition, describing it as simple yet utterly beautiful, a sentiment echoed by many who were moved by the performance.
