Dressed in a cropped navy jacket, skinny pants, a white top and gold jewelry, Hudson, 27, stepped onto a round dais in Raymond James Stadium for her pregame performance. Hudson took a deep breath and surveyed the field before launching into her rendition of the National Anthem. She ended the song with her head tossed back and a clenched fist raised to deafening applause. Hudson's performance followed a tribute to the crew of U.S. Airways Flight 1542 and a performance of "America the Beautiful" by Faith Hill. The singer-actress, who is nominated for four Grammys, arrived in Tampa on Friday. Hudson also is slated to sing at the MusiCares Person of the Year Gala on Feb. 6 and the Grammy Awards on Feb. 8, both in Los Angeles.

God bless her always. |
