A big question before Super Bowl 57 was how long it would take for Chris Stapleton to perform the national anthem at State Farm Stadium.
The over/under was 125 seconds or around that number.
It will be interesting to see what the actual clocking is listed as because the tweet below comes in at 128 seconds from the first guitar chord.
Or will it be from the first word that Stapleton sang?
Either way, he did a stellar job to get the crowd fired up for the big game.
