00:00The first thing we're going to do is present you with a resolution from the City Council

00:06of Los Angeles, courtesy of a council member, Hugo Soto-Martinez, who represents this district.

00:13So let's do that now.

00:43On behalf of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, it gives me great pleasure to declare today

00:48Tricia Yearwood Day in Hollywood!

01:00The mic is yours.

01:03Hi.

01:05Thank you to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, to Variety.

01:10I'm overwhelmed, and there's not going to be playoff music, so I think I have three

01:15minutes, but I don't really care how long I have.

01:20It's one of those surreal moments.

01:22My team, Team TY who are all here, who I love, we all talk about being where your feet are,

01:28and I'm trying to be where my feet are, but it's very surreal to be here.

01:32Such an honor.

01:33And the thing that makes it so special are the people who are here.

01:36I see a lot of faces in the crowd who have been coming to see me live since 1991, and

01:43I love you, and you know that, because this is all I ever wanted to do was to sing, and

01:48Carly, your words were so kind.

01:51I want to tell you that when I met you for the first time, it was at a CMT award show,

01:57and I just immediately knew you were genuine, and I just knew I wanted to be your friend,

02:01and so it's been my honor to get to know you a little bit.

02:04And the person that taught me how to do that was the person, the first artist that was

02:10so kind to me at an award show, and that was Reba McEntire, who just exemplifies friendship

02:16and class.

02:19She sent me flowers at my first award show when nobody even knew I was in the dressing

02:22room, and I thought they were from my mom and dad, and then I saw they were from Reba,

02:26and I'm like, oh, okay.

02:28And I'm so, so blessed that you and I have become more than just colleagues that get

02:35to see each other, but friends that get to hang out, because you're right.

02:38There's a misconception that female artists in particular are always climbing at each

02:45other and trying to get at each other, but the truth is, we're all cheering for each

02:49other and with each other, and we just, this is an example of that.

02:53These girls from every generation of country music, we're all for each other.

02:57And speaking of cheerleaders, I want to acknowledge my team, Team TY, who is here.

03:03We are a team.

03:04I love you so much.

03:09My family, my sister Beth, who is the crier, more than my husband, actually, cries more

03:14than my husband, and her husband John, who are here representing our parents, who I know

03:21are here in this moment, and just loving every second, especially my mom.

03:25She's loving a star on the Hollywood Boulevard.

03:29I have a lot of Garths in my life.

03:31My producer, long-time producer, Garth Fundas, is the man who brought me She's in Love with

03:36a Boy.

03:37He brought me The Song Remembers When.

03:38He brought me Walk Away Joe.

03:41He's not here today, but I want to acknowledge and thank him for helping me make my dreams

03:46come true.

03:48And the first Garth that I met is here, and the one that has really been a cheerleader

03:59and who, as many accolades and awards as he has won, I've never seen him get more excited

04:06than he does when I receive something.

04:09And for all the people that want this for me, nobody wants it more than you, and I just

04:15appreciate you for being my support.

04:23We're down a few stars from each other, but we're going to figure out something.

04:28We'll put some breadcrumbs or something.

04:31That's really it.

04:32I mean, and to be in Capitol, I made a record here, actually, a few years ago.

04:35I did an album called Let's Be Frank, and I got to sing in this very room.

04:41And so I'm overwhelmed, honestly, and I'm sure later I'll think of some things I should

04:45have said, but I just want to thank you all for taking out your time on this gorgeous

04:49day to be here for this star.

04:51And I'm ready to unveil this thing, so I'm just going to say thank you.
