They even sang Happy Birthday to him. Detailing the hard work involved, Yearwood noted, “Well, we’re sore. We’re all here for the same reason, which is to help everybody have a roof over their head. So, it’s a great cause. It’s a great experience.”
From Volunteering To Vegas
Taking a trip down memory lane, Trisha Yearwood praised putting her marriage to Brooks in front of her career. “We got married almost 18 years ago to be together, to not be apart. So, whoever’s touring the other one is there, whether they’re on stage or not. So, we work together all the time.”
