Harper Grace Gets ‘American Idol’ Redemption 6 Years After Viral ‘Worst National Anthem’ (Video)

Much, MUCH better

A lot of people wanted to take a knee on Harper Grace’s 2012 national anthem — which since went viral — but the now-16-year-old singer just totally redeemed herself on “American Idol.”

The singer-songwriter from Texas wowed all three judges on the new ABC version of the singing competition, first performing an original (we assume is) titled “Yard Sale.” She then blew them away further with an even-more capable cover.

Grace’s chops prompted Katy Perry to hijack the high-schooler’s dream board and officially welcome her to Hollywood.

Watch the video above, which includes more than enough of Grace’s awful “Star-Spangled Banner” from half-a-dozen years ago.
