Christina Aguilera has pleaded for forgiveness after the singer fluffed her performance of the American national anthem at last night's Super Bowl.
Instead of singing "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?" in the four-versed Star Spangled Banner, the pop star sang "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming?", changing "hailed" to "watched" the second time around.
Amid a growing Twitter storm, Aguilera said in a statement: "I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through."
According to the Daily Mail, her gaffe matched erroneous lyrics published on Wikipedia, which have since been corrected.
At the Super Bowl in 2004 Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's half-time show created controversy when Timberlake ripped a piece of Jackson's top, revealing the singer's right breast.
Green Bay won their fourth Super Bowl last night with a thrilling 31-25 win over Pittsburgh at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
