American pop singer Karina Pasian faced backlash after performing the US national anthem before an NFL game in Madrid, Spain, marking the first-ever NFL game to be held there. Critics took issue with her outfit, which consisted of a black mini dress with a deep cowl neckline, paired with thigh-high stockings, garters, and long gloves that reached over her elbows.
Many fans felt that Pasian's attire overshadowed her vocals, leading to sharp criticism on social media. Comments ranged from disapproving remarks about the outfits being too provocative to others expressing appreciation for her powerful voice but disappointment in her choice of clothing.
Despite the controversy surrounding her performance and appearance, many people praised Karina Pasian's vocals, with some calling it a historic moment in bringing US music to Spain. The NFL game itself was marked by an exciting overtime win for the Miami Dolphins over the Washington Commanders, 16-13.
Pasian has had a successful music career since she signed with Def Jam Records at just 13 years old. She has received a Grammy nomination and performed at notable events such as the White House during Black Music Month in 2007.
