As the video went viral online, Alicia’s camp reached out to the NFL and begged them to erase her flubbed vocals from its official YouTube video.
The NFL erased Alicia’s off-key vocals from its YouTube video of the Halftime show. But the videos are still going viral on Twitter/X.

Alicia, 43, is a classically trained pianist and singer who signed a recording deal with Columbia Records at the age of 15.
Her debut album, Songs in A Minor (2001), spawned the hits “Fallin'”, “How Come You Don’t Call Me” and “A Woman’s Worth.”
The album sold over 12 million copies and earned Alicia five Grammy Awards.
But Super Bowl viewers who are unfamiliar with Alicia’s work wondered if the Halftime show was amateur hour.
Thanks to Alicia Keys’ off-key singing, the Halftime show was one of the most watched in NFL history. Over 30 million viewers tuned in to the Halftime show.
Super Bowl 58 broke a ratings record as the most viewed program in television history. Over 124 million viewers tuned in.
