Keith Urban performed the National Anthem before the Nashville Predators played host to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night (May 16th) at Game 3 of the NHL’s Western Conference finals in the run for the Stanley Cup.
When there's hockey in Smashville, you already know there's a stellar anthem.
Tonight, @KeithUrban took his turn! #StanleyCup https://t.co/8DPFkmRZVX

In fact, it’s the first time during his 25 years of living in the States to even be asked to perform the Anthem. “Hey, everyone! We’re here at the Preds game. I’ve lived in America for almost 25 years, and I’ve never been asked to sing the national anthem… until tonight. So, it’s a huge honor. Thank you, Preds, for asking me. Go Preds!”

Keith follows Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Little Big Town, Vince Gill along with daughters Jenny and Corrina and Lady Antebellum in singing the Anthem during the Preds Stanley Cup Playoff run.
Longtime Preds fan, Dierks Bentley, was feeling a little under the weather, but was definitely in attendance with his family to cheer on Nashville’s NHL team.
