The country star feels like 'it's an important time for a patriotic moment.'

The two singers are rehearsing their duet this week in Tampa, Florida, ahead of the big game at Raymond James Stadium, the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who will take on the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Church appreciates the symbolism of the duet in a country that remains bitterly divided along political lines. "And because of COVID, we’ve lost the things that used to unite us: concerts, sporting events, trips to Vegas with the boys. I can tell you from the concert standpoint, the longer we go without people being able to put their arms around the person next to them and have a moment of communion, it gets more tenuous and more dangerous. And I think the reality of that is what happened at the Capitol.

It was awful.

It was a beautiful anthem!! Thank u Eric Church & Jazmin Sullivan. The capital riots was life changing for many of us!!!👏🏽🙏🏾

THEY WERE SO AWESOME!!🖤💛🤷‍♀️👏👏👏🏈

It was a great performance by him and Jazmine, but I miss Demi’s from last year

You mean that staged riot?

Great performances by all so far. Loving this Superbowl

Then he should have sang it like it was written! This is so disrespectful to Francis Scott Keys and the Arm Forces.

Somehow I think free seats, getting paid, and free advertising had more to do with it. Never heard of him before.

It was absolutely beautiful, as was our new 'American Sweetheart', Amanda Gorman.

Fantastic!

I was disappointed 😞
