Trisha Yearwood sings 'Star-Spangled Banner' before Predators game

Trisha Yearwood continued the series of superstar national anthem singers at Bridgestone Arena Monday before Game 6 of the Western Conference Final between the Nashville Predators and Anaheim Ducks.

Yearwood's husband and fellow country star, Garth Brooks, broke the news before the game when he announced
a new album project

appeared on her show

Little Big Town, a two-time Grammy Award winner, sang the "Star-Spangled Banner" before Game 3 of the second round against the St. Louis Blues. Before Game 4, country music legend Vince Gill, joined by his daughters Jenny and Corrina, performed.
Country music megastar Keith Urban sang the "Star-Spangled Banner" before Game 3 of the Western Conference Final. It was the first time Urban, a resident of Nashville for the past 25 years, had sung the anthem at a sporting event. Urban's wife, Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, was also at the game.
