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

Following the Philadelphia 76ers national anthem controversy, Sevyn 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."
