Trisha Yearwood Encourages Women to Vote, Shares New Photo After Shocking Fans with Slim Appearance

Trisha Yearwood is exercising her right to vote — and telling fans why they should, too.

On Wednesday, October 21, the country singer, 62, posted a seemingly makeup-free selfie wearing a quarter-zip sweater with a sticker that read “I voted today” to social media. She wore glasses and a smile, leaving her blonde hair down.

In her caption, “The Woman Before Me” hitmaker — who lives in Tennessee with husband Garth Brooks — encouraged others to vote in the November midterm elections.

“Every girl in this town needs to vote!” Yearwood penned. “Midterms don’t always get the spotlight, but they shape things right here at home, in our schools, our roads, our neighborhoods.”

“For my fellow Tennesseans, there are new district lines this year and over a million Tennessee voters may be in a different congressional district than before,” she explained. “Before you head to the polls, check yours at proudvoter.org.”

Yearwood’s post comes after she attended the Best Friends Animal Society’s Annual Benefit Gala in New York City on Monday, October 19. She later posted an Instagram carousel with photos from the event, showing off her slimmed-down appearance in a black pantsuit and white shirt, as First for Women previously reported.

Shocked fans took to the comment section to gush over Yearwood.

“Wow! Beautiful, Miss Trisha 💕💕,” one wrote.

“daaaang Yearwood! 😍,” a second added.

“Oh my Trisha Yearwood. You look spectacular. ❤️❤️🔥,” a third commented.

Back in 2013, the three-time Grammy Award winner lost 30 pounds in four months and spoke to People about her weight loss journey.

“I don’t think you can name one diet I haven’t done. I’m that girl who buys every magazine where somebody’s lost 30 lbs,” she confessed at the time. “I guess a part of me didn’t want to hear that it’s just really hard work!”

The U.S. Sun reported in 2017 that Yearwood lost 55 pounds by keeping a healthy diet and adding Zumba to her workouts.
