Sympathizing with her supporters, Lindsey Stirling understands the disappointment felt by those who watched the Thanksgiving night airing of the Packers-Dolphins game on NBC, only to catch a mere glimpse of her halftime show lasting just 10 seconds.
During the halftime show of Thursday's NBC Sunday Night Football game at Lambeau Field, the "America's Got Talent" alum and her dance group took the stage to entertain the crowd.
NBC decided to use the break to show Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold's roots as a Green Bay native, according to a report by USA Today.
Emerging from the pre-recorded package, NBC aired a brief segment of Stirling's live performance on the field before transitioning to a commercial break.

🖕you @NBCSports @nbc for not showing the halftime show. Why not show it like the other games today? I was looking forward to seeing Lindsey Sterling and for what? A random Alec I gold story that could have been pregame?

On Friday, Stirling shared that same lament once again, this time reaching out to her fans of almost 4 million followers on Instagram and 14 million subscribers on YouTube.
"I'm sorry to all my fans who stayed up to watch. We performed our hearts out in the freezing cold for 6 minutes straight."
Expressing her gratitude, she extended a heartfelt appreciation to the Packers for their warm welcome and royal treatment. Stirling said that the cheers and enthusiasm of the Green Bay fans during their performance left an indelible mark on her memory. The unforgettable night marked her debut stadium performance, a milestone she will always treasure.
Thank you so much to the @packers for having us and for treating us like queens! Thank you to all the Green Bay fans for being so enthusiastic during our performance. It was a night I’ll never forget- my first stadium performance.

"Sorry to all my fans who tuned in to watch and didn't get to see it," she added. "I appreciate all the posts of support."
The musician also asked her fans to "forgive my floppy foot kick towards the end. Haha my legs were numb by that point."
Stirling gained fame in 2010 from her unique talent as a quarter-finalist on the fifth season of "America's Got Talent."
