LDT “Brad Paisley Delivers Show-Stopping National Anthem Ahead of Epic World Series Game”
Country music superstar Brad Paisley brought the house down with a powerful rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Game 3 of the 2025 World Series, setting the stage for what would become a historic matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Paisley, a four-time national anthem performer at the World Series, delivered his signature performance with guitar accompaniment, blending heartfelt vocals and precision timing. The pre-game spectacle included a flyover by AT‑6 planes and a fireworks display, creating a memorable start for fans in the stadium and viewers at home.
Remarkably, every World Series game in which Paisley has performed the anthem has gone into extra innings — a streak he humorously acknowledges by calling himself “Mr. More Baseball.” Game 3 was no exception, lasting 18 innings and tying the record for the longest World Series game in history. The Dodgers ultimately prevailed 6‑5 on a walk-off home run by Freddie Freeman.
Paisley’s performance has drawn widespread attention on social media, with fans praising his vocal delivery, showmanship, and the unifying energy he brought to the stadium. His appearances continue to highlight the intersection of music and sports, elevating the excitement of America’s pastime.
