It was also the same day when she announced her latest single ‘Colorado 9.' "Greetings to everyone that has a pulse. I truly love you all so much. I’ve been absent for a minute, but I’m so stoked to announce that my new single 'Colorado 9' comes out on July 24th, pre-save it now," she wrote on Instagram.
Many netizens compared her performance to Fergie’s disastrous live version of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game and Roseanne Barr’s infamous rendition of the song at a Padres game in 1990.
