Tori Kelly is trending across the U.S., and for good reason. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter delivered a stunning rendition of the National Anthem at the highly anticipated Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match, held at the 80,000-capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Her powerful vocals and emotive delivery captivated both the live audience and viewers tuning in—well, those who could.
While the fight between the legendary Tyson and social media sensation-turned-boxer Jake Paul drew much of the attention, it was Kelly’s performance that many deemed the highlight of the evening. Fans flooded social media with praise, applauding her ability to elevate the moment and showcase how the anthem should be sung.
Social Media Reacts to Tori Kelly's Anthem
On platforms like X (formerly Twitter), fans couldn’t hold back their admiration.
- @torisonedimple: “Tori Kelly showing how the National Anthem should be done 🙂↕️”

Netflix’s Technical Glitch Overshadows the Event
However, the night was not without controversy. Many fans trying to stream the event on Netflix were left frustrated by significant technical issues. From buffering problems to outright crashes, social media erupted with complaints from users who couldn’t enjoy either the fight or Kelly’s performance.
- @slipnft encapsulated the frustration: “Netflix FIX YOUR SHIT. GARBAGE SERVERS. SHIT STREAM.”
- @DxBruyneSZN: “THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. HOW ARE THE SERVERS STILL DOWN?”
- @patriotsszn6: “Can’t wait to watch the Netflix stock crash on Monday just like the servers.”
For a platform debuting its foray into live sports streaming, this technical hiccup was a significant blow, with many questioning Netflix’s readiness to handle live events. The widespread issues even prompted some to sarcastically suggest streaming the fight directly on social media platforms like X.
A Glimmer of Joy Amid the Chaos
Despite the streaming setbacks, those who managed to catch the performance—or clips of it later—were united in their praise for Kelly. Fans lauded her powerful delivery, noting that her vocal talent perfectly matched the grandeur of the occasion. Comments like, “Legends like Tori Kelly elevate these events,” and “She made us proud to be Americans tonight,” underscored the positive reception.
Even viewers from abroad shared admiration. @WoodyWoodman28 from Australia wrote, “She was absolutely amazing and so were the crowd. From Australia I say GOD BLESS AMERICA 🙏🇺🇸.”
