Chenoweth’s performance aired live on ABC shortly before tipoff of the season’s final game.

During the with the Associated Press after her soundcheck at the arena, she said,

“Let me just say, if they had anxiety medication for Thunder fans, I’d be taking it,” “I never miss a game unless I’m on stage,”  “I was a cheerleader in high school in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and I loved football, but my favorite was basketball. I like how much of a team player you’ve got to be. … And this is my team.”

She has sung the anthem at a few Thunder games in the past, sometimes alone and at least once with children from her Chenoweth Broadway Bootcamp.
