Trisha Yearwood returned to the national stage with a soul-stirring performance at NBC’s Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks 2025 broadcast, delivering country charm and raw emotion under a sky of fireworks and freedom.

Broadcast live from Pier 17’s rooftop stage in Manhattan, Yearwood’s set was a moving blend of powerful vocals and patriotic warmth. Amid a lineup packed with pop, rock, and hip-hop, she grounded the show with her rich voice and country storytelling.


🎤 An Artist Who Represents the Heart of America

Trisha Yearwood is no stranger to big moments. A three-time Grammy winner and Grand Ole Opry member, she’s sung for presidents, performed at Super Bowls, and co-hosted cooking shows — but tonight, she brought something deeper: the voice of lived-in Americana.

“There’s something sacred about singing on the 4th of July,” Yearwood shared backstage. “It’s not just a concert — it’s a celebration of everything we stand for.”

🏙️ A Skyline Stage Worthy of the Voice

Set high above the East River on the Pier 17 rooftop, Yearwood’s performance unfolded with the Brooklyn Bridge shimmering and the NYC skyline glowing. As Macy’s prepared to launch 80,000 fireworks shells into the sky, she stood in calm contrast — one woman, one voice, one microphone.

  2. “Walkaway Joe”
  3. “How Do I Live” (Tribute arrangement)

Country music, superstar, Garth Brooks, and his wife Trisha Yearwood caused a fuss on social media after paying tribute to their friend and former president Jimmy Carter during a funeral service held in Washington DC this week. Together, the two country icons performed a cover of John Lennon’s timeless hit, “Imagine.” The content of the song, which many believe to run counter to Carter’s outspoken faith, has ruffled feathers from coast to coast. What do you make of all this? Is it just more Internet nonsense? Comment below, and let me know. #countrymusic #garthbrooks
