ENTIRE stadium sings 'Star-Spangled Banner' after Michelle Brooks-Thompson's mic fails
Michelle Brooks-Thompson has sung the national anthem at a number of sporting events, including the NBA, MLB, and Duke's Mayo Bowl game in Charlotte in December 2021. However, at Charlotte FC's inaugural home game at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday night, she had her microphone shut off for an entire song.

She was accompanied by 74,479 supporters, the largest crowd she has ever played in front of, who saved her performance by singing the anthem alongside in unison. "It definitely wasn’t what we wanted at first," Brooks-Thompson said in an interview on Sunday. "But you know what? It became a magical moment."
