“No one knew Thanksgiving night was about to feel holy.” Tom Jones didn’t just sing the National Anthem — he lifted the entire stadium into a different kind of silence. You could feel it the second he opened his mouth. The holiday lights were bright, but his voice somehow felt brighter… warm, steady, unmistakably Tom — a sound that’s carried generations and can still hush a crowd of thousands with a single note.

For a moment, football didn’t matter. Rivalry didn’t matter. People just stood there, hands paused mid-air, eyes wide, letting that voice wash over them like something timeless.
