Vancouver Canucks
To Nat’l Anthem Singer …
Sorry About The Boos, Come On Back!!!
Published
The singer who had boos rain down on her during her rendition of the national anthem at the Canucks game will have the chance to perform once more without the jeers — as she tells TMZ Sports the NHL team wants her back ASAP!
The uncomfortable scene all unfolded just before the Vancouver vs. Detroit tilt at Rogers Arena on Sunday night … as Canadians voiced their displeasure with recent Donald Trump tariffs while Agasha Mutesasira was crooning “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Mutesasira told us, fortunately, she didn’t take anything personally … revealing the team and others had told her there was a strong possibility it could all happen following Trump’s decision.
The 26-year-old added the Canucks are now looking forward to handing her the mic again soon sans the boos … as she says the franchise was “very appreciative” and “very impressed by how the situation was handled.”

As for how her confidence is following the awkward situation — she said it didn’t negatively affect her one bit.
“I knew it wasn’t personal,” she said.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Unclear when she’ll return to the Canucks’ ice to give it another go … but with Trump pausing the tariffs on Canadian imports for at least the next couple weeks — a game in the very near future probably makes the most sense.
