Brad Paisley stepped into the baseball diamond on Friday night (Oct. 25), where he performed the national anthem at the first game of the World Series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Accompanied by a green electric guitar, he performed a slowed-down version of the U.S. anthem, as a massive American flag was stretched across the field.

The country star is a longtime Dodgers fan, and the performance marks his fourth time singing the anthem at a World Series game. Ice Cube and Fat Joe are also set to perform at games 2 and 3 representing their respective hometowns.
Last month, Paisley dropped the single “Truck Still Works,” off his upcoming full-length LP. The new album, which will likely come out in early 2025, will be his first full-length album since 2017 and his first since moving from Sony Nashville’s Arista imprint to Universal Music Group Nashville’s EMI Records.
“The project has some deeper things on it but, like the song itself, is really about creativity and nostalgia and you know the themes that you want to hear right now,” he told Billboard. “Sometimes, like in these times, it’s great to give people something they just want to turn up and takes them to a place where they feel good.”
