Trisha Yearwood Gets Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame
Trisha Yearwood
Trisha Yearwood got her own Hollywood Walk of Fame star on Monday (March 24) during a midday unveiling on the sidewalk in front of the historic Capitol Records building.
Yearwood was joined at the event by members of her team, her sister and brother-in-law and husband Garth Brooks, (whose own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is just a few steps away from hers.) Her star at 1750 North Vine Street in the heart of Hollywood is the 2805th to be awarded.

“It’s very surreal to be here. Such an honor,” said Yearwood, thanking those on hand. “The thing that makes it so special are the people who are here. I see a lot of faces who have been coming to see me live since 1991,” she said. “I love you, and you know that!”
Before accepting the honor, Yearwood’s reputation and persona were heralded in words from close friends and fellow artists Carly Pearce and Reba McEntire.
“People tell you never to meet your heroes,” shared Pearce. “But the woman that we are all celebrating today had made me and so many other aspiring country music singers think differently. I remember from a very young age becoming infatuated with Trisha’s voice. I later realized that she has a tone that is unmatched. Her God-given ability has since entertained millions for decades. For me, what matters is the impact she has continued to have on this industry, this genre, on me and all of the next generation of female country artists, and as my friend.”
“We are in the country music business where girls stick together. We have fun together. We complain and gripe to each other because you can’t do that with anybody else,” said McEntire. “Nobody else understands. So, congratulations on this today. I’m thrilled to pieces for you. I love you with all my heart. Congratulations!”
