Though it may not have been the worst performance of the national anthem, five-time Grammy Award-winning singer James Taylor fumbled the patriotic song at Game 2 of the World Series on Thursday night. He quickly caught himself, but the legendary folk singer began singing “America the Beautiful” — which we was slated to play during the 7th inning — instead of the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
