Sevyn Streeter Reveals Why She's Going Back to Philly to Perform the National Anthem

Following the Philadelphia 76ers national anthem controversySevyn Streeter is returning to the city to perform at a game on Dec. 16. But why would she want to go back? The singer explains her reasoning with Fuse: "It's unfortunate, me not being able to sing the anthem at a 76ers game because I was wearing a shirt that said 'We Matter.' But guess what: now there's going to be even more awareness."

Sevyn continues, "I say all the time, when you love something you want it to be the best version of itself. I love my country—I just want it to be better. The anthem is just a sense of pride and represents America. I feel like I can do both...I want America to really, truly be great."
