LOS ANGELES (AP) — As fans removed their caps and stood for the national anthem Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, they were met with a surprising rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Latin pop and R&B singer Nezza stood in front of the crowd, closed her eyes and belted the song out — in Spanish.

Vanessa Hernández, the Latin pop singer also known as Nezza, said she has received death threats since she performed the Spanish language rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” ahead of the Dodgers-Giants game on Saturday.

Latin singer Nezza said she is "super proud" of performing the national anthem in Spanish, despite being discouraged to do so by the Dodgers, and that she has "no regrets."
