Trivia

In 1996, while flying from Nevada to New York, Trisha saved a man's life. Francesco Maccarrone, a baggage handler, was trapped in the belly of the plane. When the plane left the gate, Trisha heard pounding and screaming from under her seat and insisted the pilot stop the plane. After he emerged from the plane a shaken but relieved Francesco said, "I was a big Reba fan, but now I'm an even bigger Trisha fan."

She started out singing demonstration records or "demos" in Nashville. She was so good at it, she would double park in front of the studio, do the song in one take, then leave before she would get a ticket.

Loves to go antiquing and bake birthday cakes for family and friends.

Her first Grammy came in 1994 in the Vocal Collaboration category for "I Fall to Pieces," with Aaron Neville.
