Looking at the national anthem singer for the Capital One Orange Bowl ahead of the College Football Playoff semifinal matchup between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Penn State Nittany Lions.

Ahead of the important game, "The Star-Spangled Banner" was performed by musical theater star Ellie Rose. The performance of the national anthem at the Orange Bowl carried significant value, with many residents of the Los Angeles area affected by the devastating fires that have taken place over the last few days.

Three letters reigned down from the stands of the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans minutes before the Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Notre Dame kicked off on Thursday. "U-S-A, U-S-A," the fans chanted before and after Thursday's national anthem, as reported by WSB TV's Zach Klein.
