She is most popular for her ballads about vulnerable young women.

Under MCA Nashville, Yearwood released her self-titled debut album in 1991. Its lead single titled “She’s in Love with the Boy,” peaked at number one on the Billboard Country Chart in late 1991, bringing her national success.

In total, Trisha has released 11 studio albums and has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide. She has won three Grammy Awards, three Country Music Association Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, an American Music Award, and a Pollstar Industry Award for touring.

And since April 2012, Trisha has hosted a culinary series on Food Network titled Trisha’s Southern Kitchen, for which she has won an Emmy Award. In 2016 it was announced that Trisha would be playing the role of Mary in Fox’s musical, The Passion.
