Trisha Yearwood - Her Biggest StageNothing quite prepared country music star Trisha Yearwood for the spectacle of performing "The Star-Spangled Banner" in front of about 200,000 people, even though she sang the anthem before Game 4 of last year's World Series and sang during the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics.
"For so many reasons, I'm nervous," Yearwood said about three hours before she took the stage. "I didn't really know the over-200,000 number until this morning. But [former NASCAR driver] Junior Johnson just gave me some alcohol, so I think I'll make it through."
