Warner Music Nashville artist Gabby Barrett returned to her roots in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania last week at PNC Park to receive a key to the city from Munhall Mayor Robert Falce.

During an on-field presentation ahead of Barrett’s headlining concert following the Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates game, County Executive Rich Fitzgerald also proclaimed Aug. 11 Gabby Barrett Day in Allegheny County.

“I am not sure where to start… last night, being in Pittsburgh (my hometown) and headlining a place I remember most of the time performing hardly to anyone, for years and years – there was now 31,000 people in attendance for the show. I cannot put into words the emotions I was balancing before walking on stage,” shared Barrett in an Instagram post. “Also, getting to receive the ‘Key to the City’ was nothing short of an honor. God is blessing and we’re here for the ride. Thank you to my fans that have been there and supported allllllll through these years. It was so wonderful to see familiar faces. Until we return back… thank you!!!!”

After visiting the Children’s Home of Pittsburgh & Lemieux Family Center with her husband Cade Foehner, Barrett took the stage that night in front of a stadium of over 30,000 people to perform her current single “Glory Days” and other new songs from her forthcoming sophomore album.

Additionally, she is one of the artists featured on the compilation album A Tribute To The Judds, out Oct. 27 in celebration of The Judds’ 40th anniversary. Barrett appears on the track “Girls Night Out,” alongside Reba McEntire, Carly Pearce and Jennifer Nettles.
