Los Angeles, CA – Country star Brad Paisley is ready to perform the national anthem during the first game of the 2024 World Series.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees are battling it out in Southern California on Friday night. Paisley isn’t nervous about performing, but the possibility of his performance going viral is on his mind.
“Most of the time I do pretty well and don’t get nervous for things that I’m doing,” Paisley told Fox News Digital. “I really kind of just get into the moment, I don’t know, maybe I’m dumb. Tonight might be different, but right now I feel fine. I’m just excited to do this.”
“I do feel like there will be a lot of support, like people are gonna sing along. This is the kind of thing where everybody wants a good National Anthem and a good game. I’m not alone out there in that sense,” he continued.
Paisley told Fox News Digital the thought of his performance on Friday night going viral on the internet is on his mind.
