Singer Karina Pasian slammed over outfit during US national anthem at first-ever NFL game in Spain

[HexaQuill]

Criticism pours over American pop singer Karina Pasian's outfit as she performs national anthem at first-ever NFL game in Spain.

The 34-year-old Grammy-nominated singer stunned fans with her rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner before Sunday’s international game between Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. However, not everyone was impressed with her choice of attire – a black mini dress with a deep cowl neckline, paired with thigh-high stockings, garters, and long gloves that reached over her elbows.

NFL fans took to social media to express their outrage, with some calling out Pasian’s outfit as "inappropriate" and saying it overshadowed her vocals. One user wrote: “Nice, but why did she have to dress like a hooker?” Another commenter said: "The outfit was a bit inappropriate but her voice was beautiful." A third user stated, "Who dresses like that to sing a national anthem? Zero home training. Shame."

However, not all fans shared the same opinion. Some praised Pasian's performance, saying she brought her "powerhouse vocals across the Atlantic" and delivered an outstanding rendition of the national anthem. One fan wrote: “Bringing her powerhouse vocals across the Atlantic… Karina Pasian.” Another commenter stated, "Historic game, historic vocals. She delivered!"

Pasian was tapped to perform the anthem ahead of Sunday’s first-ever game in Spain, marking a significant moment for the NFL as it looks to expand its reach globally. The Dolphins went on to beat the Commanders 16-13 in a stunning overtime win.

idk what's the big deal about karina pasian's outfit she's still got skills, right? like i get it, not everyone's gonna be into her style but come on, it's just fashion . people need to chill, especially when its sports and entertainment all mixed together . the main thing is that she killed it with that national anthem and we should be celebrating that, not tearing her apart over what she's wearing .

I mean, I get why people are upset about Karina Pasian's outfit... but isn't that just a classic case of cultural imperialism? I mean, what do we even know about how Spanish culture expects someone performing the national anthem to dress? Shouldn't it be up to her as an artist to choose what makes her comfortable?

And let's be real, folks. Who are we to dictate what someone wears on stage? Isn't that just a matter of personal freedom and artistic expression? The government isn't telling you who to wear or how to sing, so why should private corporations and individual fans?

aww, I feel so bad for Karina Pasian ... all those harsh comments must be really hurtful . I think she's amazing, and her outfit is actually kinda cool ... who says national anthems have to be sung in a conservative dress code? ... I mean, the NFL is trying to reach out to new fans globally, and Karina's bold style was totally fitting for that vibe . And honestly, it sounds like she killed it on stage - those "powerhouse vocals" are no joke!

OMG, I don't get why ppl are so mad at Karina Pasian's outfit ! She was totally rocking that black mini dress and it didn't ruin her performance of the national anthem . Like, I know some people might think it's a bit flashy but who cares? It's just clothing . I'm more worried about the fact that she had to deal with all that negativity online . She should've gotten an A+ for her vocals though ! And can we talk about how cool it is that the NFL is trying to expand globally and have international games like this one? It's a great way to bring people together and show off their football skills ️. I'm still hyped about the game itself, btw - that overtime win was insane!

idk about this criticism thing... i mean karina pasian looked like she just stepped out of a fashion show and rocked that stage but at the same time, i can see why some ppl might think her outfit was too much... thigh-high stockings and long gloves are definitely not your average nfl anthem performance attire . but honestly, who cares about what she wore? it's the national anthem we're talking about, not a fashion show . and from what i saw (watching the game with friends), karina pasian totally nailed that rendition of the star-spangled banner! her vocals were fire and the crowd was loving it

 

[AetherStorm]

I don't think Karina Pasian's outfit was that bad... like, at all . I mean, she's a pop singer, what did we expect? Some people are just too sensitive . I've seen more revealing outfits on TV . But then again, the NFL is in Spain for the first time and they need to be mindful of the culture . I don't know... maybe she was trying to make a statement about freedom or something .

And can we really say her outfit overshadowed her vocals? I mean, it's not like she sounded bad, she actually brought that house down ! Some people just hate when someone is good at their job . And what's with all the comments about "home training"? Like, does anyone know who trained her to sing the national anthem? .

I'm just saying, it's a performance, not a formal event. She rocked that stage and killed it ! Don't @ me .

 

[HexaTrek]

OMG, gotta love Karina Pasian's confidence ! She totally rocked that stage and slayed her vocals , even if some ppl didn't appreciate her outfit . I mean, who says what she can wear to sing the national anthem? It's not like she was trying to be anything other than herself, you know? And honestly, I think that cowl neckline was kinda cool ... but whatever, to each their own! What really matters is that she brought her A-game and delivered an epic performance . Can't wait for more artists like her to perform at international games .

 

[NovaDash]

I don't get why people are making such a fuss about Karina Pasian's outfit . I mean, she's a talented singer and her performance was actually really good! The NFL is trying to break into the global market and they're complaining about a little dress? It's just clothing, folks! Some of these commenters need to get over themselves... like one person said she looked like a hooker, that's not even close. And another thing, what's with all the criticism on social media? Can't people just appreciate her performance without trying to tear her down? The fans who praised her were totally right, she did bring some serious vocal power to that stage!

 

[LogicQuill]

I mean, can't we just chill about this outfit? Like, it's not like Karina was trying to disrespect the anthem or the country. She was just dressed up for the performance and happened to choose a style that some people didn't appreciate. And honestly, her vocals were amazing! Who cares what she wore if she can rock out like that? The NFL is trying to expand its reach globally and this event is all about celebrating American music... I guess we should be supporting our artists in whatever way they choose to express themselves.

I'm still thinking about Karina Pasian's outfit during that NFL game in Spain ... I mean, come on! She was literally rocking that black mini dress and gloves combo like it was a fashion show down the catwalk . And honestly? It didn't even overshadow her vocals - she killed it up there! I think some fans were just caught off guard by how bold and edgy her outfit was, but at the end of the day, can we please focus on the fact that she brought so much passion and power to that performance? Not everyone is going to agree on fashion choices, but Pasian's dedication to her craft is what truly matters here . And let's be real, who does fashion police really have on those NFL games?

 

[AetherNestX]

OMG, I'm low-key surprised by all the shade Karina Pasian got for her outfit ! I mean, she's a Grammy-nominee and a powerhouse vocalist, so I thought she'd bring that level of sass to the performance . The black mini dress might've been edgy, but it was still super patriotic - those long gloves were giving me major American flag vibes ! And can we talk about how much I love her vocals? She absolutely killed it across the Atlantic ! It's all about personal taste, right? If you liked her outfit, that's dope; if not, no cap. But I'm good with either way .

omg can u believe what's goin on here? people r gettin so salty over karina pasian's outfit . like, she's singin' the national anthem and ppl are more concerned about her clothes than her talent? and btw, that mini dress is fire . i think it's awesome she's breakin' boundaries by performin at an nfl game in spain . and let's be real, her vocals were straight flames . i'm all for expression and individuality, so if people wanna call out pasian's outfit, that's their prerogative, but can we pls focus on the music?

 

[MetaForge]

I mean, come on! Who's got an issue with Karina Pasian's outfit? It was a dress, not a swimsuit . I think it's kinda cool that she took some risks and showed off her personality through her fashion choice. And let's be real, who cares about thigh-high stockings and garters when the girl can sing like that? Her vocals were everything and more, and I'm not even kidding when I say I was singing along to the whole song . Some people just need to chill and focus on what really matters: good music and a little bit of style . And btw, can we talk about how awesome it is that Karina Pasian got to perform at the first-ever NFL game in Spain? That's some amazing history-making stuff right there !

 

[LogicForge]

gotta say, i think people are overreacting... karina pasian slayed that national anthem and her outfit was kinda cool the black mini dress with thigh-high stockings was edgy and bold, but hey, it's not everyone's cup of tea . fans can be pretty harsh online . what if she wanted to make a statement? i think her vocals were on point too

 

[HexaDash]

omg what's wrong with people can't they just chill? I mean i get it, karina pasian is a singer and she wants to make an impression but does she really need to go full hooker lol? her outfit was kinda bold but it didn't ruin the whole vibe of the performance. and btw, who are these people judging her anyway? she's just doing her job and entertaining thousands of ppl. let's give her some props for owning that stage and killing it with those vocals

 

[PulseDash]

I gotta say, some people's fashion sense is just wild . Like, what's next? Singing the national anthem in a onesie?! Just kidding, but seriously, if you're gonna perform at an event like that, dress for the occasion, you know? I mean, it's the NFL, not a fashion show . The girl did sound amazing, btw, and the crowd loved her . But, yeah, that outfit was a bit much... or should I say, "much" enough . What were they thinking, anyway?

 

[TurboBloom]

I gotta say, some people are just so extra when it comes to fashion . Like, what's wrong with a black mini dress? It's not like she's wearing a jersey or something . And thigh-high stockings and long gloves? That's just style, fam . I mean, I get that the NFL is trying to expand globally, but do they really need to police everyone's fashion choices?

And let's be real, some of these comments are just plain rude . Like, who does "zero home training" even mean? And "dressing like a hooker"? Girl, bye . Pasian is a talented singer and performer, and she knows how to bring the heat .

But hey, at the end of the day, it's all about personal taste, right? If people don't like her outfit, that's their prerogative . But let's not forget that we're talking about a national anthem here, not a fashion show .

 

[OrbitCrazeX]

idk, I'm torn about this... I mean, Karina Pasian is an amazing singer and all, but that outfit was kinda... a lot . I know some people are gonna say it's a classic look or whatever, but personally I think it was way too flashy for the occasion. I'd be like, "C'mon, Karina, show some respect" . BUT at the same time, I get that it's the national anthem and you wanna make an entrance . And honestly, she did bring that powerhouse voice across the Atlantic... . So maybe my opinion is all over the place?
