American Idol runner-up Lauren Alaina bungled the lyrics to the national anthem at the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers football game on Thanksgiving Day.

Alaina's rendition began well, but then she arrived at the line, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming ...

Instead, she sang, What so proudly we hailed through the twilight's ...

However, Alaina recovered well and delivered the rest of The Star-Spangled Banner free of any other mishaps.

Later, she addressed the event on Twitter. I'm not a robot. I have No excuses. I messed up, she tweeted following the performance. You know what can ya do. At Least didn't fall down again.
