Meet the passionate singer from New York, aiming to hit all 30 MLB stadiums with her national anthem performances
This singer's dream to sing the national anthem at all 30 MLB stadiums is gaining national attention (Instagram/ @alitheanthemgirl)
Ali Berke isn't just chasing a dream—she's singing her way through it, one stadium at a time. The 24-year-old pop singer from New York, who's earned the nickname Ali The Anthem Girl, has taken on an ambitious and heartwarming mission: to perform the national anthem in all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums.
With 16 already checked off her list, she's now over halfway there.
Ali Berke's anthem dream: Hitting high notes in
MLB Stadiums
across America
Ali Berke's journey began with a memorable moment at one of baseball's most iconic venues. 'A few years ago, I got the opportunity to sing at Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox,' Berke recalled. 'We were thinking how cool it could be if we could do all 30. I just think it will be a huge accomplishment and something I could check off my bucket list.' That single performance planted the seed for a nationwide anthem tour that has since taken her to stadiums in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and most recently, Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.
While the nerves that once accompanied her have faded, Berke admits there's still a moment of tension before each performance. 'I think the beginning is the hardest part just because you're trying to, like, the first time you open your mouth, it's kind of nerve-racking,' she shared. 'I think that's kind of the most anxiety part. Once I'm three words in, I'm good.'
Off the field, Berke is equally dedicated to her craft as a singer-songwriter.

'I've been doing original music since I was 13,' she said. 'This is kind of my side venture. The big goal, the big picture, is always my original music…I'm in the studio all the time working. When I'm not in the studio, I'm traveling to do an anthem.'
Often accompanied by her father and boyfriend, Berke covers all her own travel expenses, driven by nothing more than passion and the love of performing. With San Francisco next on her schedule for June 26, her anthem journey continues—uniting music and baseball, one ballpark at a time. She has a dream and that's something unique.

Wayne Gretzky's daughter Paulina Gretzky draws attention with Dustin Johnson photos before U.S. Open (Image via Getty) Paulina Gretzky , daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, is once again making headlines online. Her most recent Instagram post, which shows private times with her husband, professional golfer Dustin Johnson, has generated a lot of interest. With the U.S. With opening only days away, the mood and timing of these images have fans speculating for more than merely love or fashion. Paulina Gretzky shares cozy moments with Dustin Johnson ahead of Oakmont tournament On the morning of June 9, 2025, Paulina, who is 36, shared a carousel of new images on her Instagram. The photos show her seated beside 40-year-old Dustin Johnson, her husband, on a white couch. The couple appeared affectionate and close, with Paulina dressed in a sheer, soft-colored outfit detailed with lace. Johnson, on the other hand, was seen without a shirt beneath a sleek white blazer. The post's title was simply "Nobody else," a phrase that soon became quite popular on social media sites among fans. The timing of the post caught notice as it came just days before Johnson is set to play in the 125th U.S. Open beginning June 12, 2025. The event will be held at Oakmont Country Club near to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Paulina has shared bold content before. In May 2025, she posted a striking image from a Miami-based shoot with photographer Isabella Lanaro. That picture showed her in denim, using her arms to cover her chest while standing against a neutral background. She wrote 'Undone' in the caption. That post also generated a strong online response.

Kim Kardashian backed off—Dating isn't coming easy for Tom Brady as insiders think he is still obsessed with with Gisele Bündchen
Tom Brady is reportedly struggling in the dating world (Getty Images) NFL legend Tom Brady might have conquered the football world, but his personal life seems to be stuck at the line of scrimmage. Nearly three years after his high-profile divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen, the 47-year-old seven-time Super Bowl champion is reportedly struggling to find lasting chemistry in the dating scene—and insiders claim it's largely his own doing. Obsessed with the past? Tom Brady's dates reportedly include rants about Gisele Bündchen and self-pity Despite Tom Brady's fame, fortune, and elite athlete looks, sources say his emotional baggage is pushing away even the most interested women. According to 'Word's getting around that Tom's a whiny, flaky man diva and not much fun to be around.' The report paints a picture of a man still caught up in the past, unable to move on from his former relationship. Women who have gone on dates with Brady, insiders claim, often come away unimpressed—not because he's not attractive or successful, but because the former quarterback can't stop talking about how miserable he is. 'He whines about his ex and it just puts off any potential partners,' one source told Radar. The emotional wallowing hasn't just affected his everyday dating prospects—it's allegedly soured potential flings with A-list celebrities too. Even Kim Kardashian, once rumored to be flirting with the idea of dating the NFL star, has supposedly backed off. 'Even Kim Kardashian has given up the idea of dating him because he's wallowing around,' the source noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Gisele Bündchen has moved on—leaving Tom Brady seemingly stuck in limbo While Bündchen enjoys a reportedly fulfilling relationship with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente and embraces a modern, blended family dynamic, Brady's romantic life has remained stagnant. Friends say his current behavior is only making things worse. 'When he is on dates, he just talks about himself and how miserable he is,' one insider added. 'That is never attractive to the opposite sex.' Even Brady's Met Gala appearance—an event where star power usually shines—did little to improve his image. Though surrounded by admirers, onlookers claimed he seemed distant and disengaged. One source summed it up bluntly: 'Unless he changes his strategy, he's never going to be able to get back in the game.' Whether Brady can bounce back emotionally the way he did on the field remains to be seen.

World's most popular TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves the US after being detained by ICE
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S.
