Vocalist Loomis is shedding light on her troublesome rendition of the National Anthem … asserting that she is indeed a talented singer, despite the mishap during her performance.
We managed to engage with the performer in Los Angeles on Friday, after she expressed a desire to “begin again” while delivering the U.S. anthem at the Free and Equal Elections Presidential Debate the previous Wednesday.
Nevertheless, Loomis explained that her anxiety and the uncertainty surrounding the broadcast of the event led her to make the unexpected request during the song.

Loomis stated that she commenced the National Anthem with confidence, but was momentarily halted by someone from the production team … informing her that they were unprepared for her and that she should restart.
The performer mentioned that this interaction led her to believe the event was not being broadcast live … which is why she audaciously sought a re-do during her act.

Loomis admitted that her mind was not clear due to her anxious state … revealing that she has always been intimidated by the task of singing the National Anthem.
She expressed … “It’s always felt like the most terrifying experience for me since childhood. You see, everyone stands so solemn. The whole place goes quiet. It’s daunting.”

Despite this, she stated she would gladly perform the National Anthem live again … hinting at an forthcoming appearance on “Good Morning America.”
Ultimately, her message was clear … she can actually deliver an impressive rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and our video above serves as proof!
