Taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the 32-year-old started kicked off the much-hyped spectacle with a subtle rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner", before Floyd Mayweather remained undefeated by a unanimous decision. Watch it beneath:

Super Bowl XLVII, Alicia Keys

14x-Grammy-winning songstress Alicia Keys performs a stripped down version of "The Star Spangled Banner", during the 2013 Super Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday, February 3rd, in New Orleans.

While she did sound shaky in spots and although didn't surpass past renditions, the performance was filled with originality as she played the piano and sang the song in way that only she could, which is something that she should be commended for.
