When Walker Hayes started to perform his hit “Fancy Like” at the Chiefs/Bengals AFC championship halftime show (1/30), CBS TV aired his sound over the halftime show anchors, and no one could hear on TV what the sportscasters were saying.

As the halftime show started on TV with James Brown, Nate Burleson, Phil Simms, Boomer Esiason, and Bill Cowher, Walker’s music completely drowned them out on TV as they tried to break down the first half of the game.

While he didn’t mention the mishap, Hayes posted photos of him with his family at the big game.

Walker captioned his photos On Instagram, “Unreal experience playing halftime today…big shout out to the @chiefs for having us💪.”
