“Three of my very favorite things: this country, our anthem and football,” Grant said before her performance at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Detroit Lions game. “Football marks my favorite time of the year, so I’m very grateful to the Chiefs organization for inviting me and excited to be a part of the NFL’s season kickoff!”
Grant gave a powerful performance at the game, which got football fans buzzing online.

She pointed out that she has also performed at Democratic Party events.
“This isn’t about endorsing a candidate or a party,” Grant said in an interview with The Christian Beat. “I simply love this country, and I love what our anthem represents.”
