Luke Bryan is apologizing for cheating on the national anthem, even though many people didn’t notice, and many others didn’t care.

The country singer admits that he did check the lyrics he had written on his hand while he sang The Star Spangled Banner on Tuesday night at the MLB All Star Game.

On Twitter Wednesday Bryan said he’s “sincerely sorry” if he offended anyone.

He says he just wanted to make sure that he didn’t mess up and that his singing came from the heart.

He also said he checked his watch because he knew a stealth bomber flyover was planned as part of the presentation, and he started a little late.
