Kelly Clarkson sings the national anthem for NASA's SpaceX launch

By Carson Blackwelder & Andrea Tuccillo

Though she may not have been physically present, Kelly Clarkson lent her voice for a truly out-of-this-world event.

The original "American Idol" winner, 38, performed the national anthem Monday ahead of NASA's launch of SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, she belted out the iconic lyrics virtually from her home.

I’m over the moon about being asked to participate in #LaunchAmerica 😏… get it? I love space jokes. 🚀😆 The Demo-2 launch is happening now and @NASA is live tweeting it!! Safe travels to everyone on board! https://t.co/0mw6kLUnDi

This special event is the first crewed space mission to be launched from U.S. soil since 2011. Launch will take place at approximately 4:33 p.m. ET. Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are the two veteran astronauts headed to the International Space Station.

Pre-launch coverage, including Clarkson's performance, is airing live on SpaceX's website, NASA Television and the agency’s website, as well as numerous other platforms including ABC News.
