Anthem Singer Unfazed by Trump Boo-Boo
9 Jun
Summary
- Singer Avery Wilson sees booing of Trump as pop culture, not politics.
- Wilson wore in-ear monitors and didn't hear much of the booing.
- Wilson has been invited back to sing for Game 4.
Singer Avery Wilson described the booing of President Trump during his performance of the national anthem at the NBA Finals as a "pop culture moment." Wilson, who is not political, stated his focus was on the performance itself and its social media impact. He mentioned he was wearing in-ear monitors, which limited his awareness of the crowd's reaction during the anthem.
Wilson anticipated that Trump would face boos in the arena and specifically during his performance. Despite this, he has been invited back to sing for Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The artist expressed doubt that the booing incident could be surpassed as a significant distraction.
With President Trump reportedly skipping the upcoming Game 4, Wilson expects the controversial booing situation to dissipate. The Grammy-nominated artist remains ready to perform and sees the moment as a unique aspect of the event.
