He caught himself after a couple of words, but James Taylor almost kicked off Game 2 of the World Series with “America the Beautiful” and not the national anthem.

Here’s Vine video capturing the flub:
James Taylor doesn't know the national anthem, is a commie. https://t.co/mzgNkWO9RA

So, how is it that the one person in a stadium of thousands who doesn’t know the anthem is the one chosen to sing it?
James Taylor screwed up the national anthem!

Great misdirection by James Taylor starting with America the Beautiful…

Did anyone just catch James Taylor start to sing "america the beautiful" instead of the national anthem? Hahha

Was it an “artistic decision”? Keep hoping, fans.
Wife and I choose to believe James Taylor took artistic license when he started anthem with "Oh beautiful," rather than he sang wrong song

James Taylor is the real JT. Way more talented. Even if he is 100 and forgets the song he's there to sing.

#JamesTaylor is so cool he can forget what song he is supposed to be singing and STILL end up making it alright. #SweetBabyJames
