Singer Luke Bryan took to Twitter today to dispel suggestions that he was checking his watch out of boredom while singing the national anthem at Tuesday’s Major League Baseball All-Star game. He also responded to criticisms that he was reading from crib notes written on his hand.
I had a few keys words written down to insure myself that I wouldn't mess up. I just wanted to do my best. I promise it was from the heart.

Luke Bryan's verson of the national anthem @ the All-Star game last night was an epic fail. He needs to learn respect & remember the lyrics!

What about checking the watch?
I did check my watch because I knew the stealth bomber would fly over 2 minutes in and I knew a started a little late.

OK, we’ll buy that. We also get nervous when stealth bombers are involved.
If I offended anyone with my approach I sincerely apologize. Anytime I sing the anthem it is an honor and my heart beats out of my chest.

The fans seem to have forgiven Bryan.

Coming from a guy who has lyric sheets on stage….I have zero issue with @LukeBryanOnline writing cheat sheets #letsseeyoudoithaters #relax
