NE-YO brought his voice to baseball’s biggest stage on Tuesday, October 27, performing the national anthem ahead of Game 4 of the 2026 World Series at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The three-time Grammy Award winner delivered “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the Tampa Bay Rays faced the Milwaukee Brewers. Speaking ahead of the game, NE-YO explained that his preparation included reviewing the lyrics and completing vocal exercises to ensure a traditional performance.
The R&B singer stood with his hat at his side as an American flag was displayed behind him during the ceremony.
