A singer was praised for her savage response after being heckled while singing the National Anthem.
On Thursday night, a teenager was scheduled to deliver her rendition of the country's anthem at Madison Square Garden during a New York Knicks versus Charlotte Hornets game but was rudely interrupted by a heckler who shouted something from the audience.
While most would try and ignore the hater, the singer decided to call him out without even using any words.
A video of the moment has recently been going viral after it was posted to both Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
The video starts with the girl singing the lyrics: "Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the-" before she is cut off by a man shouting something from the stands.
It is unclear what he said at the time, but the singer decided to stop singing altogether and turn to find the perpetrator with an unimpressed look on her face before recovering and continuing where she left off.
"O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming," she could be heard saying as the crowd around her started cheering in support of her performance.
Knicks' power forward Karl-Anthony Towns was also caught smiling at the reaction, much to everyone's amusement.
"KAT’s reaction," wrote one user alongside laughing emojis, while another added: "The side-eye. She forgot where she was for a sec, she said oh yeah lemme get back to this anthem."
A third also added: "Glad she stopped gave him his 2 seconds he so desperately needed then continued in key!"
And this user also chimed in to state: "She was like oh hell nah… imma deal wit you after the performance lol."
Others also took the time to praise the singer for her incredible performance.
"Kept going like a champ," one Instagram user said and this person also added: "I was there! She had an amazing voice and the crowd went insane at the end of it!!!"
Another added: "The fact that she continued on like that is a top tier move ngl."
We love to see it!
