Trisha Yearwood became the eighth "surprise" national anthem performance before a Predators playoff game.

Trisha Yearwood sings the National Anthem prior to game 6 of the Western Conference finals at Bridgestone Arena Monday, May 22, 2017 in Nashville, Tenn.

The surprise was spoiled early thanks in part to Yearwood's husband, Garth Brooks, who couldn't contain his excitement on Twitter.

Yearwood sang the Star-Spangled Banner before Game 6 of the Western Conference final between the Predators and the Anaheim Ducks.

Brooks teased an appearance at Bridgestone Arena earlier on Monday, but later clarified it would not be him.

Former Titans running back Eddie George, along with injured Predators forwards Ryan Johansen and Kevin Fiala, were the ceremonial towel wavers.
