Trisha Yearwood talks 16th studio album, performs on 'Today'
She released her 16th studio album, The Mirror, on Friday, and took to the Today City Concert stage to perform such songs as her new track "Bringing the Angels" and her 1991 hit "She's in Love with the Boy."
Yearwood, 60, shared that she co-wrote each of the 15 songs on her new album.
"It took some friends of mine who are great writers to say, 'You are a writer and we're gonna write,' and they really just kept at me to write and here we are," she said.
"I've made an incredible career of singing other people's songs," she added. "...It just feels like when you write them yourself, there's another layer and it's that you have to be a certain kind of vulnerable to do that... And I know I couldn't have done that earlier in my career."
In March, she was memorialized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
She is also known for her Food Network show, Trisha's Southern Kitchen.

Jane Pitt, mom to Brad Pitt, dies at 84. Granddaughter calls her ‘love in its purest form'
Jane Pitt, a schoolteacher, philanthropist and the mother of film star Brad Pitt, died on Tuesday at the age of 84. The Pitt family shared her obituary with KY3, an NBC-affiliated station in Springfield, Mo., where Jane and her husband, Bill, raised their three children — Brad, Doug Pitt and Julie Neal. The cause of Pitt's death was not revealed by the family. Doug Pitt's daughter Sydney shared a tribute to her grandmother on her Instagram account with a series of pictures. 'We were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier,' she wrote. 'I don't know how we move forward without her. But I know she's still here in every brushstroke, every kind gesture, every hummingbird. She was love in its purest form,' Sydney added. In addition to being an accomplished artist, her family said Jane Pitt was an elementary school teacher with the Springfield public school system. In 2009, the Pitts donated $1 million to establish the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center at Mercy Hospital in Springfield. She would occasionally make red carpet appearances with her son Brad. The actor's six children are among the Pitts' 14 grandchildren, and the family said Jane Pitt treasured her role as grandmother. 'The years of 'Your Special Day' of one-on-ones with each grandkid are some of their fondest memories,' the family said in her obituary.

Anne Burrell fans upset over 'tone-deaf' Food Network post after host's death
Editor's note: This article discusses suicide and suicidal ideation. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat at Anne Burrell fans aren't happy with the new Food Network social media post promoting the TV personality's longtime series 'Worst Cooks in America.' The 55-year-old celebrity chef was found dead in her New York home on June 17, and the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed to USA TODAY on July 17 that the manner of death was ruled as a suicide. Throughout her impressive career, she became a household name on the culinary channel, starting with her debut on Iron Chef America' in 2005 and later hosting 'Secrets of a Restaurant Chef' for nine seasons. However, she was arguably best known as the face of the long-running 'Worst Cooks in America.' An Instagram post on Aug. 4 promoting the show's 29th season, which premiered on July 28 and will be Burrell's last, has sparked outrage for not mentioning the beloved host. A post shared by Food Network (@foodnetwork) The post includes screengrabs showcasing Burrell from the Aug. 4 episode with a caption that reads: 'It's showtime! The recruits step up to the spotlight in the first-ever Boot Camp Culinary Pageant! Competing head-to-head, they show off their kitchen skills in hopes of being crowned Mister or Miss Boot Camp.' Fans call caption 'distasteful' and 'disappointing' The post received multiple comments from upset viewers, with one calling the caption 'so distasteful,' urging the page to show 'some care and decency for Anne and her family.' 'Another tone deaf post and still no tribute like she deserves. It's obvious you haven't listened to any of the thousands of posts from her fans. Very disappointing,' another user wrote. 'This is such an odd caption, in my opinion. At least acknowledge Anne and her legacy in the caption- this is not an 'everyday' type of season premiere and Food Network knows that,' another caption reads. USA TODAY has reached out to Food Network representatives for comment on the backlash. Food Network honored Anne Burrell with special message The Food Network honored the host at the end of the Season 29 premiere with an 'In Memoriam' display featuring a photo of Burrell in a sunny yellow jacket and with text that read with the chef's name and years of her life, '1969-2025.' The tribute was followed by text advising, 'If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline or chat at Gabriele 'Gabe' Bertaccin, who joined Burrell as a co-host for Season 29, said the cherished host was always heavily involved in the show and that the new season felt 'very celebratory.' 'I was like, 'I am so happy that this is Anne and it shows (her) so well' because that's who she was,' Bertaccin previously told USA TODAY. 'I'm sad that she's not here anymore, but I know that she would love to see herself in this season and she would really enjoy actually reliving all these crazy moments that we had together.'
