\n\tNE-YO<\/a> performed the national anthem at game 4 of the 2026 World Series <\/a>on Tuesday night (Oct. 27) in Tampa Bay, as the Milwaukee Brewers have their brooms out looking to complete the sweep of the Rays.<\/p>\n

\n\tHolding his hat at his side, NE-YO brought his silky-smooth vocals to \u201cThe Star-Spangled Banner,\u201d singing on the baseball field as a graphic of the American flag waved behind him. Watch the full performance here: <\/p>\n

\n\tThe R&B singer followed in the footsteps of Mickey Guyton <\/a>(game 1), Kylie Cantrall <\/a>(game 2) and Carly Pearce<\/a> (game 3) as the national anthem performers in this year\u2019s Fall Classic.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou go over the words like a madman,\u201d NE-YO said in an interview with MLB Network<\/a> prior to the performance. \u201cLord knows that you don\u2019t want to get up there and forget the words. You do a lot of vocal exercises\u2026 I try to keep it somewhat traditional.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIf the Rays snatch a victory, game 5 will take place on Wednesday (Oct. 28) at the Trop. But it could be a historic night at Tropicana Field. The champagne bottles are sure to be popping if the Brewers indeed win game 4 to capture the franchise\u2019s first World Series championship.<\/p>\n

\n\t2026 marks the Brew Crew\u2019s first appearance in the Fall Classic since 1982, when they fell short to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games, which was when the franchise was still in the American League.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is far from NE-YO\u2019s first time singing the national anthem at a major sporting event. The \u201cSo Sick\u201d artist previously performed at the 2016 NBA All-Star Game, Thanksgiving\u2019s Detroit Lions-Chicago Bears game in 2021 and the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament\u2019s final in 2023 in Las Vegas between the Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Lakers. <\/p>\n

\n\tSporting a cowboy hat, the 47-year-old returned in July with the release of his country-inspired Highway 79 album.<\/p>\n
