Little girl’s adorable, creepy version of national anthem is honestly perfect
Watch Next

Harper is a three-year-old girl with a pretty remarkable memory for music and lyrics—which is why she is the perfect person to sing the national anthem.

You see, her grandma taught her the song on her third birthday, and she was given the opportunity to show off her star spangled skills at the Senoia Raceway in Georgia.

This tiny singer knows the Star Spangled Banner from beginning to end, sure, but boy is that a long song. Has anyone realized how long it is? Harper has. And she's over it. But for her fans, she'll soldier on.

Also, please note that there is no musical accompaniment in this video. She memorized alllll those key changes by herself, thank you very much.

Her aunt, Cindy Roberts, who filmed the video, said that she received a standing ovation. Rock on, Harper — you're the oracle of our creepy times.
