Kristin Chenoweth stuns with sky-high notes in NBA Finals national anthem
Kristin Chenoweth delivered a gravity-defying performance of the national anthem over the weekend.
At Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday, the Emmy and Tony Award-winning Oklahoma native hit several sky-high notes as she sang "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Her performance was lauded by many on social media, including Lindsay Lohan, "Cheer" star Monica Aldama and more.
Chenoweth looked glam during her performance, wearing sparkling knee-high boots.
She also sported an Oklahoma City Thunder shirt.
Oklahoma City ultimately beat the Indiana Pacers 103-91 in Game 7 to take home the championship, prompting Chenoweth to share a video from the game on her Instagram story, cheering, "We did it!"
In a video shared on the NBA's official Instagram page, Chenoweth said she's an "Okie" -- the Broadway star was born in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma -- and that she's been "a huge basketball fan my whole life."
"Eight years ago, I named my dog Thunder," she added.
She also mentioned how much she loves singing the national anthem.
"I do love this song," she said. "And I take it very seriously. I definitely do my own version."
"Thunder up! Where's Rumble when you need him?" she added, referring to the team's mascot, Rumble the Bison. "That's gonna be the name of my next dog."
