"The passion. the outfit. this anthem performance was unmatched." the Pacers captioned the post. Murray has performed the national anthem at hundreds of sporting events over the years.
She also performed "O Canada" before singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" Monday.
A social media user identifying himself as a school teacher and Kinsley's father, Shafer Murray, said she performed at a Washington Huskies basketball game in early 2022.
In 2021, Kinsley gained attention for her national anthem performance before the start of a Gonzaga women's basketball game.
"I love to honor our country," Kinsley, who was 6 years old at the time, told KREM-TV. "The louder the roar, the better I get."
The social media reaction to Kinsely's latest performance varied widely. Some offered their applause, while others voiced criticism.
Some defended the young performer and pushed back against comments some viewed as negative.
"I watched that video and seeing all of the disgusting comments, all the hatred, all the bully comments to that girl is absolutely atrocious," TikTok user Midnight Michaelson wrote. "I would like to see everybody come on here now and tell you how sorry I am and how apologetic you are for attacking this little girl."
