Dude took his hat off and placed it on his heart. Showing respect. As a Marine combat vet, I'll keep that in my brain. Although, you didn't have to, you did it anyway. I didn't have to join the Marines. But I did it anyway. That little gesture, means a lot. It makes our sacrifice worth it.

It's nice to know there are still people showing respect to our National Anthem. Much love .

From a veteran, thank you for removing your hat. Means a lot.

He brought me to tears and I'm not even American.

Chris Stapleton is an incredible singer.

I'm not even American, I cried with the power and pride for country.

THANK YOU!!! Taking off your hat immediately almost got me wound up right from the start! So many ppl have no respect these days, so I appreciated that immensely!🇺🇸

Chris Stapleton is a beast! He is his own genre. “Tennessee Whiskey”, “I Was Wrong”, “Cold”, “Fire Away (must watch official video) just for starters 😊

Y'all nailed it. This is the greatest country ever in history. The American people are not the American, jacked up, corrupt government. We are the last bastion of freedom. My family served and some gave it all for our country. Yes, pull together people. We are in this together!

I still get the goosebumps when I see this 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

America is far from perfect, but its full of people who are trying...you both said it so well. We will stumble, we do stumble, but the good parts, those are worth fighting for. ❤

This was from the most recent Super Bowl. It’s the best version I have ever heard! You definitely need to do more Chris Stapleton. He is multitalented!!

Sends chills through my body every time!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Chris a mic and a guitar!!! Wow!

As an Eagles fan seeing Nick Siriani cry during this national anthem is a top 10 moment in our teams history.

I'm an Englishman and I was moved to tears. M'Fcker's all soul.

I watched it live,I watched it replayed after the game,and I'm STILL watching reactions..... And when I see my Eagles~Nick Siriani,Jason Kelce,with tears streaming down their faces,I cry along with them..... Chris Stapleton... Legend. BEST version of our beautiful National anthem I've ever heard in my 58 yrs.....

FINALLY CHRIS STAPLETON!! The only rule I have for you is any song of his you react to must be a live version

Thank you! Great reaction! Chris is another rabbit hole I love traveling through! This man has soul! I think my favorite original song is “Cold” and I love his cover of “Whipping Post” by the Allman Brothers. I have never been a fan of country music but this guy is another genre bender! Thanks again guys! Happy birthday America 🎊🎉🎇🎆

Chris has one of the best voices, ever. The man is an legend. The emotion in his voice just sends me. I’m not super patriotic, but he made me feel that song more than I ever have. I hope you guys do more from him!

Chris envokes a reverence...music spiritual, hence why music is amazing. Good reaction!

United we stand...divided we fall.

This is how I want to here our National Anthem sang. A man and his guitar. Honest and real. Cried the whole time.

You won’t be disappointed with the Chris Stapleton rabbit hole. Sometimes I Cry (Bing Lounge) and Fire Away (official video version) and Tennessee Whiskey/Drink You Away (CMA 2015) with Justin Timberlake in particular, are crazy good!

His voice is SMOKE. 😮🎉 How emotional you got, Pegasus 😊

Chris stapleton cold live at cma is fire as fuck

I do not care for most country music, but I could listen to him for hours. The man has a soul and his singing is amazing. Tons of great songs and his live performances are better than many of the recorded versions. New Rabbit hole

Bro on the left preached. Well said. Great reaction guys. React to more Chris Stapleton, he's goated.

AN EPIC PROFORMANCE

Wanna hear mind-blowing vocals gentlemen? Chris Stapleton "Sometimes I Cry" live Bing Lounge 😏❤️‍🔥

Chris Stapleton and Ren... This channel is the shizzle!! Funny how you have come across 2 of the greatest story tellers through song and they couldn't be any more further apart in genre. Both of these 2 are absolute GOATS! You guys and Knox i literally cant get enough of!

Chris is THE best. “Sometimes I Cry”, “Cold”, “I Was Wrong”, “Tennessee Whiskey”, “Death Row” to get you started.

The Chris Stapleton well is deep! I don't care for his songs that sound like current pop country but his bluesy rock, as well as his ballads, are superb! Death Row is one of my favorites!!!

The best live rendition of the Anthem hands down.

One man with his guitar! He looked different because he usually wears his iconic cowboy hat 😊 Thank you so much for taking your cap off during the anthem ❤

More Stapleton! "Cold," live at the 2021 CMAs is a great place to start. Loovveee! ❤

I shed a tear every time. That was a great version... Happy freedom day

Very appropriate never heard it sung with so much soul. You all celebrate my birthday hope you are having a good time.

Hearing The National Anthem has always been an emotional experience for me, even as a small child, but this rendition by Chris Stapleton touched me more than any I've ever heard, at 76yrs old that's saying a lot.

He did an amazing job on the song.

Never seen this before and this might be the best rendition I've ever seen as well. Can you imagine doing that live at the f'n SuperBowl and hitting every note like THAT?!

I just love him. I’m going to see him Friday in Bangor, Maine.

DAMMM, first time in a long time I have teared up during the national anthem. Great job #chrisstapleton

Have always found this one to be impressive and just plain fun: Tennessee Whiskey/Drink You Away - Justin Timberlake & Chris Stapleton (CMA 2015)

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate the respect you showed by not only removing your hat,but remaining quite through the entire song. I've watched other reactions to this performance,and there was laughing at the players crying,not removing hats etc.,but what REALLY got me,was when one of the reactors knelt down on one knee and held up a fist,then started apologizing for doing it while laughing...

Beautiful!!!!!!!!

Can't believe you haven't done Chris Stapleton. Suggest you start out with Tennessee Whiskey from Austin City Limits.

AMEN!!! LOVED what you said!!! Put our differences aside and just get along

Oh Jesus H. Y’all really need to go down the Chris Stapleton rabbit hole. Great reaction!

You’re just getting started with Chris Stapleton, he’s flat out amazing!!

This is one of the best reactions to this Epic Performance by Chris Stapleton. You are so real, keep up the good work.

You have absolutely got to check out more of Chris!! Hes a vocal BEAST!!

I can’t imagine a better version.

...excited like a ghost, funny Don. I'm excited for this reaction. Chris Stapleton is cool blues soul country...👊☝️🖼☝️🎇🙂

First, please do more Chris Stapleton. He has an amazing voice & you won't find any earpieces, autotune, autocorrect or lip synching. He sings blues, R & B, soul, gospel, rock, jazz & straight-up country. He was a highly successful songwriter for about 10 yrs before he was convinced to go out on his own, During that time, he also sang with 2 bands, The Steeldrivers (bluegrass/newgrass) & The Jompson Bros. (southern rock). Everyone starts down the Chris rabbithole w/ Tennessee Whiskey live at Austin City Limits but I prefer I Was Wrong from the same concert. Do not miss 3 Live from the Bing Lounge: Barely Alive, Cry & Your Man. Then consult Andy. 2nd - I think I understand what your views are on what authorities did during the Covid pandemic. I would just like to add my perspective because I know you will respect it. I am 78 y.o. My mother grew up before there were vaccines for anything, with the exception of smallpox. She told stories about how disease was dealt with in those times. People quarantined to prevent infecting others. There was no other defense. None. She had classmates who died or were left deaf, blind or otherwise damaged from diseases that are easily preventable today. She knew more than 1 mother who could not attend her own child's funeral because she had been quarantined with him/her & the quarantine period was not up. My mother contracted Rheumatic fever & was out of her head with a dangerously high temp for 3 days. Grandpa brought buckets of ice & put them near the bedroom door for Grandma to open the door & retrieve. They were extremely fortunate because she survived without the common heart damage & Grandma didn't become ill. Many times, after someone was quarantined, their mattress & bedding was burned & their clothing boiled for an hour. The vaccine for smallpox 1st started becoming mandatory in the 1840's & 1850's. Both of my parents had the round scar that those left on upper arms. When I was in grade school, polio was the big fear. My mother didn't let us go anywhere but school & church (where we came late, stood in the back & left early) for a very long time. That was all she could do to try to keep us safe. I had 2 classmates who contracted it. One was left with a badly deformed leg & the other ended up existing in an iron lung for several years before she died. In the 2nd grade, I was among the 1st to receive the new polio vaccine. Not saying the authorities handled everything perfectly. Panic, politics & egos will always f**k things up somehow. But I've told you my personal story & it's why I did not object to quarantine, always wore a mask & was happy to get the 1st vaccine shots available. As they say, your experience may vary.

Death Row is a awesome song, makes you feel like you are in the hole with him

This performance gave me chills. I watched it live. Beautiful

wow.. no one has put up a comment.. since I have.. but I'm putting up a comment.. today... I saw the Francis Scott Key bridge go down about a month ago.. Francis Scott Key wrote our National Anthem.. I'm from Delaware but have lived in Maryland for 30 plus yrs.. I went to work over that bridge many a time.. so sad that it's gone.. Know our history... this song means everything. It's our Anthem.. and thank you so much for taking your hat off for it.. that's respect. I truly hope and pray that when my boys (3) of them hear our Anthem.. they will show respect. And hope my girls r raising their babies the same way.

I can tell that you are the child of a veteran....the automatic reaction of taking off your hat was heart warming!! Thank your parents for serving us all!!

This is a good heartfelt rendition. I hadn't heard it before, so thank you. ❤ But you should listen to Jimmi Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner. It's mind blowing what he could do to a guitar. 🤯🤯🤯

Man, Chris Stapleton has such an incredible voice. He can sing anything, but the big one people love is Tennessee Whiskey.

If you want some legit Chris Stapleton gloriousness, you have to watch him play an acoustic version of a song he wrote with an old band of his called “Barely Alive” in a Nashville bar years ago. It is on a cheap garbage cell phone and people are eating and such (you can hear the clanking of the plates) and when he gets going it is unbelievable. You can hear them blown away by his voice, and it’s legit power. Soul crushing it what it is

I’m 55 years old and this is truly the best Super Bowl national anthem. I love Chris , seen him live last Friday

So glad you've reacted to Chris Stapleton! You are at the edge of a very deep rabbit hole... this guy is amazing, he just *emotes*. He crosses genres....some people say he is "country"....but he is soooo soulful, and there is so much blues infused in his music...

I could see your history as a military brat by your reaction. I have seen people in awe, I've seen them cry, yours was the first one where you removed your hat, put it over your heart lip synced and even closed your eyes a few times. Bravo.

I so love that ya'll love our country as much as I do... this is who we are... I'm not gonna loot a store.. don't agree with that.. but I love my country... and proud to be an American

Thank you for taking off your hat for this. This is respectful to those who gave their lives in defense of this country and the flag that represents it. Appreciate it. And this is the best version of this song "I've" ever heard as well.

We played Chris Stapleton's "Starting Over" for my grandmother ALL THE TIME! She also loved Marcelito Pomoy's version of Beauty & the Beast (from AGT shocking). After the Super Bowl, I couldn't wait to play this National Anthem for her. She loved it. We were able to play it for 3 months. She called Chris "That's My Boy!" She passed away that May at 109. We played Chris' National Anthem as her Funeral Processional song & rolled her out of the church to the "Star Spangled Banner!" It was Awesome!

Y'all's patriotism as some one that served ty let me make it straight I never saw combat but still appreciate y'all

I appreciate men as well as women reacting to how something makes them feel - much respect!

That was beautiful, made me so emotional. What is happening to the USA currently, breaks my heart.

If I could sing like Chris Stapleton, I would literally never shut up! I'm here for you guys doing more reactions of him.. you'll be almost as blown away as you are with H Mack

A beautiful reaction to the most beautiful version of this song. Chris killed it and so did you guys. 🙏

The hands down best version of this song. Had me shedding tears as well.

Yes we are connected to one another and everything else. Thank you. I love you.

I don't think there has been a time in my life that this song has not brought to tears.

Chris Stapleton “first time I cry live at the Bing lounge.” Thank me later.

Big ol' burly football players/coaches in tears. ❤

Loved your true reaction! We are all so proud to be American !!!!!

Chris Stapleton is amazing. Saw him in concert last summer. He’s unreal

You now have a new subscriber. The reactor on my right took off his hat and put it over his heart. God Bless America.

If you want a GREAT one, Chris and Justin Timberlake’s performance at the ACMs 2015 (I think) is one, if not THE best, live performance out there!!! It is AMAZING. It’s 2 songs together and it will blow your mind. Also if you do that one, watch the band too, even they know how good it was. They were all having the best time and it’s absolutely shown! I promise, you can’t not like it lol. ❤

I was in feeling good by the time the "Big Game" started, but this rendition brought me to tears. It always brings me tears in big situations, but Stapeltons rendition is just so heartfelt. Respect to my man for removing his hat, whether for the respect or just trolling.

Definitely go down the Chris Stapleton rabbit hole, you won’t regret it

Chris is an American icon. Great reaction on the 4th.

I'm not even American and that was perfect!!! You guys better take care of Chris or I'll take him and make him Australian !!!!!!!

Most beautiful rendition...yes absolutely 💯

Fire reaction guys 🔥 Stapleton is fire!

Just a man with his guitar and his amazing voice

Best voice in music, hands down!!!!

Anything Chris does is guaranteed 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Absolutely my favorite artist-ever! With Ren right behind him, then Angelina Jordan.. People who are able to emote their feelings to send chills through a person… 💕 my favorites are Fire Away - video, cRyyyyyYyy- my brain fog won’t let me type the rest😢

You guys need to react to Chris and Justin Timberlake . They have two together that I know of . It’s high energy and great when they do the CMA show together. You will enjoy for sure !

I love the story at the end. It was 2021. It was the 4th of July and my beautiful wife married me the next day...but that night, the city of Galveston, TX lit that bitch up too. We sat on the balcony of our canal rental and watched...and i felt...secure. Secure in our future as a country, as a republic that works in democracy, and that we are all more similar than different.

I'm not even American but that was unbelievable, that was the America that I was brought up to respect as my second country, CS is a national treasure...The old America is still there..

Absolutely the best live performance of all time at Super Bowl

Stripped it down. The words are what counts. And he does it beautifully. 🇺🇸

Huge credit and thank you to you both for just letting it play and taking it in without pauses. You guys rock.

Lol. We are absolutely at a better place racially than the 40s.

This and Whitney Houston the 2 best ever most emotional rendutions...Whitneys is what this anthem shoould sound like loud, strong and passionate! RIP Whitney !!!

You guys are dope! Loved listening to the convo
