Twitter heard you, Lady Antebellum.
The superstar country trio had some . . . difficulty with the words to the "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Game 5 of the Jets-Predators Stanley Cup playoff series Saturday in Nashville. One of them sang one line while another was singing a different line. Crash!
Yikes Lady Antebellum.... gotta get those words right! pic.twitter.com/sD6hPldO0J

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS: Scores, schedule, live updates
And, yes, the internet is a tough crowd:
I'm glad Lady Antebellum didn't sing the Canadian anthem.. learning the American one was hard enough on them.

Hopefully the Preds play better than Lady Antebellum sang the national anthem...

Oh no. Lady Antebellum wants a mulligan even when it’s not in the right sport. #WPGvsNSH

Geez, Lady Antebellum... even the local kids’ choir doesn’t screw the anthem up at minor league hockey games.

#LadyAntebellum just embarrassed the entire state of Tennessee. If you live in Nashville and can't sing the Star-Spangled Banner? Turn in your #GrandOleOpry card immediately.

Really, Lady Antebellum? You're going to screw up our national anthem in our town that made you famous? #StarMangledBanner #preds

The Pred-faced trio responded with this tweeted apology during the game:
Welp. We’re human too y’all 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷♂️ We’re still rooting for ya Preds!!! #smashville pic.twitter.com/0fWw5EqV8R

Maybe Smashville will get to hear Carrie Underwood again if there's a Game 7. She did just fine at the mic the last time.
