Darci sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” – America’s National anthem. She sang without any intonations, it was just her voice, which felt full of feeling. During her performance, the arena seemed very patriotic with people’s hands on their hearts. Darci Lynne delivered her performance in OKC’s thunder jersey, while standing in the spotlight.
