Well, it has certainly been a big week for Carly Pierce. She just turned 33 and now she got the news that she will be singing the national anthem at the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby.

Being from Kentucky, this is a major bucket list moment for me! I’m so excited to announce I will be performing the National Anthem at the 149th @KentuckyDerby. Tune in to NBC on May 6 to catch my performance ahead of the Run for the Roses® 🌹🏇 @ChurchillDowns #KentuckyDerby… pic.twitter.com/oi9e5EWEzK
