Trisha Yearwood talks 16th studio album, performs on 'Today'
July 18 (UPI) -- Trisha Yearwood is back with new music. She released her 16th studio album, The Mirror, on Friday, and took to the Today City Concert stage to perform such songs as her new track "Bringing the Angels" and her 1991 hit "She's in Love with the Boy." Yearwood, 60, shared that she co-wrote each of the 15 songs on her new album. "It took some friends of mine who are great writers to say, 'You are a writer and we're gonna write,' and they really just kept at me to write and here we are," she said. "I've made an incredible career of singing other people's songs," she added. "...It just feels like when you write them yourself, there's another layer and it's that you have to be a certain kind of vulnerable to do that... And I know I couldn't have done that earlier in my career." In March, she was memorialized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She is also known for her Food Network show, Trisha's Southern Kitchen. Trisha Yearwood performs live on NBC's 'Today'

Trisha Yearwood finds her voice as a songwriter on new album "The Mirror"
Trisha Yearwood was halfway through a new song at The Bluebird Cafe last February when she realized she was onto something special. As she ripped into the chorus of "Little Lady," an anthem of independence pulled from a real-life encounter she had in a grocery store parking lot, the crowd roared in approval. "We had to pause after the first chorus for the applause," Yearwood told Axios during a recent interview in her Music Row studio. "I'm like, 'OK, this is good. This is good.'" "That was the night that I knew." Why it matters: The song is part of Yearwood's career-redefining new album "The Mirror," out Friday, which finds her embracing songwriting for the first time. The 15-song collection is a revelation that explores Yearwood's insecurities, frustrations and joys in first person. The big picture: Yearwood has been hailed as one of the best voices in Nashville for decades. But this album, and the creative renaissance that fueled it, present an unexpected turning point for the established star. The intrigue:"Trisha is a full-on monster writer," says Erin Enderlin, who co-wrote with Yearwood on two tracks on "The Mirror." "She just reaches in, grabs the heart of the line and yanks it out." Chad Carlson, who co-produced the album with Yearwood and co-wrote some songs, agrees, calling "The Mirror" a "groundbreaking left turn" for Yearwood. "She has an amazing talent for writing," he tells Axios. "The only disappointing thing about any of this is that she waited this long to do it." State of play: Yearwood spent most of her career pulling material from Music Row's top talent. She wasn't a writer, she repeated often. Instead, she used her voice to elevate the beauty in other peoples' words. On the few occasions Yearwood did venture into songwriting, she says, it often felt like pulling teeth. What she's saying:"When you move to this town, there are so many incredible musicians, there are so many incredible songwriters. It's intimidating," Yearwood says. "The couple of times that I did write in those early days, I didn't have any confidence," she says. "I couldn't say it out loud. I was just scared." Yes, but: That all changed after a pivotal writing session in 2022. A "new portal" Songwriter Leslie Satcher had pushed Yearwood to collaborate for a while. Yearwood became an expert at canceling writing appointments: She faked an emergency trip to the dentist and an asthma attack, she says. When Yearwood finally showed up, she and Satcher worked with Steven Dorff to write "When October Settles In," a searing ballad about grief. By the numbers: That song was a gateway to a new creative outlet. Yearwood says she's written more than 60 songs since then — and she has no intention of stopping. Driving the news:"This whole new portal opened, and it's so exciting." "I'm 60 years old, and I felt like I was pretty sure and pretty set in who I am and what my life is," Yearwood says. "And then I started writing." "A lot of forgiveness and understanding" The songs on "The Mirror" delve into love, pain and empowerment with sophistication that matches the rest of Yearwood's catalogue. The difference now is that the details are pulled from her real life, and stray thoughts she's jotted down for years. "Even though I didn't know it, I was writing for this project all along," she says. "And the writers that wrote with me wanted to help me say what I wanted to say." "Fearless These Days," one of the standout tracks, embodies the album's central themes: It is a message to Yearwood's younger self. She remembers walking down the aisle for her first wedding: "I felt it in my bones. Drop the flowers, run back home. I wasn't strong enough to turn away, but I'm fearless these days." "You don't know until you know that it's OK to rock the boat," she sings. "It's so much easier to just be who you are." "I used to just pretend I'd never been married before because I was embarrassed," she says. "There's definitely a lot of forgiveness and understanding of my younger self that I think writing these songs helped me get to." Zoom in: In "Little Lady," Yearwood remembers a woman asking to see her ring after she got engaged to Garth Brooks. In the song, the woman tells her it's time to "settle down and quit that music thing." Yearwood lobs back a fireball: "I ain't nobody's little lady but my own." 💭 My thought bubble: I am a Trisha Yearwood superfan. Her decision to pursue songwriting is personally thrilling — and writing about it is a dream assignment. I'm happy to report that her new songs hold their own alongside the classics from the rest of her 34-year career. The devastating ballad "So Many Summers" is at home on a setlist with "Walkaway Joe." "Volume 2" could be coming Yearwood is still making time for her new passion. She recently collaborated with the writing supergroup the Love Junkies, which includes Liz Rose, Lori McKenna and Hillary Lindsey. Fans might not have to wait too long to hear what they worked on. What's next:"There may have to be a volume two," she says. How to get a signed copy Trisha Yearwood will sign copies of her new album at two only-in-Nashville events this weekend.

Trisha Yearwood on July 4 concert, her faith: 'What you lean on in hard times'
NBC's 49th annual Macy's 4th of July Fireworks special includes 80,000 exploding shells and two returning American classics – the Brooklyn Bridge (for the first time since 2019) and Trisha Yearwood. Yearwood, 60, admits she doesn't perform on Independence Day anymore, "unless it's something really big, like this." So the singer returns to the stage for a pre-fireworks concert hosted by Ariana DeBose that also features the Jonas Brothers, Lenny Kravitz, Keke Palmer and Eric Church. The special airs at 8 ET/PT, and streams live on Peacock. The country music icon, who has been married to Garth Brooks for two decades, was inspired to perform songs from her upcoming album, "The Mirror" (out July 18). "The album is very personal to me, having co-written every song on it, which I've never done before," Yearwood tells USA TODAY from her Nashville home. "I'm still figuring out which two songs I'm going to sing from it. But we're going to make it fun." Here's what to know: The July 4 concert got Yearwood out of grilling hot dogs for 250,000 The July 4 concert pulled Yearwood out of working at Nashville's Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, owned owned by Brooks, who's been largely out of the spotlight amid a civil suit alleging he raped a former employee and his countersuit calling the accusations a "shakedown." But in a cheeky June 19 Instagram video, Yearwood tells Brooks that they are cooking out for "a quarter of a million" people on July 4, adding in the comments that Friends In Low Places will give out free hot dogs on the holiday. "Macy's got me out of it. So I'll be missing out on cooking 250,000 hot dogs," says Yearwood, who admits the number is an exaggeration. "Nashville is expecting a quarter of a million visitors that day, and we hope they all come to the bar. We don't know when we'll run out of hot dogs." Yearwood spends most July 4 holidays at the couple's Nashville home, which has hillside views of downtown. "So we can watch the Nashville fireworks and other towns from here. When I'm home, that's what I like to do with friends," Yearwood says. This anthem is generally Yearwood's July 4 must-play When Yearwood was headlining July 4 concerts two decades ago, she leaned on one power song. "I always do the national anthem," she says. There's a power in that song that really says, 'We are America.'" The pro believes in singing "The Star Spangled Banner" a cappella. "My parents were always like, 'Sing the national anthem like it was written.' Even if they're both gone now, I still sing it that way, straightforward." However, Yearwood's favorite version of the anthem is Whitney Houston's famous 1991 Super Bowl power rendition. "That's the be-all (and) end-all," Yearwood says. "We can't all do it like that. So just do it your way." Yearwood also admires Martina McBride's "Independence Day" for the holiday. "It's really not a happy song about July 4, but it's generally an up vibe," Yearwood says. "I've played that at many July 4 shows." Her 1991 breakout hit "She's In Love With the Boy" is also concert-mandatory. "It pretty much works every holiday," Yearwood says. "If I'm doing a full show and I don't do that song, they'll probably carry me off the stage anyway." Yearwood sings of faith in 'Angels': 'It's what gets you through' Yearwood has been opening recent concerts with the "barn-burner" song "Bringing the Angels," inspired by a deep conversation about faith with her sister Beth Bernard, who received a writing credit. "However your faith looks to you, it's what gets you through, what you rely on, what you lean on in hard times," says Yearwood. "My life is not perfect, and my life has not been perfect. I feel a strength in knowing that I'm not alone in it. That's what (faith) is to me. I feel sorry for people who don't have something to draw on." As Beth was ready to head home after the spirited talk, she said to Yearwood, "Man, we are really bringing the angels today." "And it was like, 'That's the song,' It kind of wrote itself," says Yearwood, who adds that she's always had powerful faith. "I'm not a wear-it-on-my-sleeve person." Pro tip: Stay hydrated in life, July 4 concerts Yearwood credits being in the "best shape of my life" to basic vital care. "I drink a lot of water and get my sleep, all the things I didn't do in my 20s and 30s." The singer is already focused on July 4 hydration. "I'm taking my full band with me, and we'll have tons of water," Yearwood says. "My biggest career lesson is don't overthink it. I'll have my water, somebody will do my hair and makeup, and I'm going to be cute. It's going to be fine." How to watch the Macy's July 4 concert and fireworks The Macy's 4th of July Fireworks show airs on NBC at 8 ET/PT (streaming live on Peacock) with the fireworks beginning at 9:25 ET/PT. There will be an hour-long NBC encore presentation at 10 EST/PST. Telemundo's telecast will air at 9 ET/PT.
