The Nashville Predators pulled out all of the stops in the first two rounds of the NHL playoffs by unleashing Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Little Big Town, Vince Gill and Lady Antebellum to perform the national anthem before their five home games. And wouldn’t you know it, the Preds won all five games. That’s some good mojo.
As the Preds gear up for the Western Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers or Anaheim Ducks, it will be exciting to see who the Preds unleash for the next performance of the national anthem: Dierks Bentley? Kelsea Ballerini? Reba McEntire? Keith Urban? Garth Brooks? Kenny Chesney? The list of possible performers goes on and on. Music City has no shortage of talent.
In the meantime, watch the five performances from Carrie, Luke, LBT, Vince and Lady A (below) and vote on your favorite one. If you don’t see the poll below, click on this VOTE link.
