Friday was a huge day in the career and the life of Gabby Barrett. The rising country singer performed a post-game concert after the Pittsburgh Pirates played at PNC park in Pittsburgh to over 31K – but that was literally incidental compared to the honors she was bestowed.

Before she took the stage, the Munhall Pennsylvania native received two incredibly high honors in recognition of her success and her proud representation of the city. During an on-field presentation, Munhall Mayor Robert Falce presented Barrett with a key to the city while County Executive Rich Fitzgerald also proclaimed August 11, 2023 as “Gabby Barrett Day” in Allegheny County. Gabby posted her thoughts on the evening on Instagram.

“I am not sure where to start…last night, being in Pittsburgh (my hometown) and headlining a place I remember most of the time performing hardly to anyone, for years and years – there was now 31,000 thousand people in attendance for the show. I cannot put into words the emotions I was balancing before walking on stage. Also, getting to receive the “Key to the City” was nothing short of an honor. God is blessing & were here for the ride. Thank you to my fans that have been there and supported allllllll through these years. It was so wonderful to see familiar faces. Until we return back.. thank you!!!!”
