Carly Pearce brought her powerhouse vocals to Tropicana Field on Monday night, performing the national anthem ahead of Game 3 of the 2026 World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers.
As Pearce began singing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” fans across the stadium stood with their hats held over their hearts while a massive American flag stretched across the field. The country star delivered the patriotic anthem with her strong and rich vocals on full display.
Upon reaching the song’s final lines, Pearce earned a loud round of applause from the crowd and later received praise from fans who watched her performance online.
“She has a great voice. Well done.”
“Nailed it!”
“She sang it beautifully.”
“Way to go Carly Pearce, you nailed it!!”
The GRAMMY-winning act was also joined at the game in St. Petersburg, FL by her boyfriend, Jordan Karcher, who shared a proud moment while watching her take the field. The couple got to enjoy the game together after her performance and even snapped a few photos together, which he then shared to social media alongside a heartfelt caption.
They were seen cuddling up for a selfie in the stands, enjoying some ice cream and showing off an official baseball of the 2026 World Series. In another video, Pearce even showed the two of them “warming up” backstage with a round of catch.
Jordan wrote, “If there’s an official singer of the national anthem, it’s Carly Pearce 🇺🇸⚾️.”
The Milwaukee Brewers ended up defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 10–1, taking a 3–0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Pearce was the second country artist to perform the national anthem during this year’s World Series. Mickey Guyton sang ahead of Game 1 in Milwaukee on Oct. 23.
Game 4 of the World Series is set to take place tonight, Oct. 27, at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
