Overview
Loomis' National Anthem refers to a performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" by indie singer Loomis at the Free & Equal 2024 Presidential Debate that was widely criticized and mocked for the singer's swearing and panicking after failing some notes while performing the song.
Background
On October 25th, 2024, the indie singer Loomis performed the American National Anthem at the Free & Equal Elections Foundation presidential debate featuring third-party candidates. Although she successfully belts the first few lines of the song, Loomis appears rattled once she gets to a higher note and her voice cracks out of pitch, which prompts her to swear and ask for the production team another chance to sing the anthem, even though the debate was being live streamed.
The YouTube[1] channel @HowardMortman uploaded the moment in which the singer failed to perform “The Star Spangled Banner” anthem, which amassed over 17,000 views and 218 likes in a day.
Online Reactions
Social media users immediately joked about the performance. For example, on October 5th, 2024, X[2] user @SgtWRC posted Loomis' National Anthem performance, writing that it's a new contender for "Worst Rendition of the National Anthem Ever." The tweet (seen below) amassed more than 424 likes and 126 reposts in a day.
On the same day, TikTok[3] user @theonlycb3 posted a parody skit video mocking Loomis' performance (seen below), which received roughly 425,000 plays and 59,000 likes in a day.
