Carly Pearce left several baseball fans in awe after she sang the National Anthem prior to Game Six of the World Series between the Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves. The country music singer's first-time performance was met with cheers from the crowd and fireworks midway through the song and Pearce hit some beautiful final notes at the end. The Braves went on to win the game in Houston, beating the Astros 7-0.
After her performance, Pearce took to social media to thank the Major League Baseball for letting her perform. She tweeted, "Few things are as American and iconic as the World Series... like singing at the @opry, this is one of those things you don't dare dream — and almost can't believe when it's actually happening. Thank you @MLB for giving me the honor of singing the National Anthem tonight."
