Spoilers for Yellowstone Season 5, Episode 13 ahead.
In “Give The World Away,” Jamie (Wes Bentley) reunited with a familiar face, Taylor Sheridan cast Bella Hadid as his character Travis’ girlfriend, the Turnpike Troubadours performed at the Dutton Ranch, and the show paid a touching tribute to the late John Dutton (Kevin Costner) and Colby Mayfield (Denim Richards).
Before Teeter (Jen Landon) and Kayce (Luke Grimes) took John and Colby’s horses out in remembrance, a crowd gathered outside the ranch and listened to a beautiful live performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Curious who sang the National Anthem on Yellowstone Season 5, Episode 13? Here’s everything to know about Siena Paglia, the singer who captured hearts with her rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” in Yellowstone Season 5’s penultimate episode.
Who Sang The National Anthem On Yellowstone Season 5, Episode 13? Meet Siena Paglia
Before another auction day down at the Dutton Ranch commenced, a beautiful singer in a brown cowboy hat took the microphone and sang the National Anthem, teeing up the emotional service for John and Colby.
Though the singer wasn’t officially introduced during the episode, her name is listed in the episode’s end credits as Siena Paglia.
Verified as Siena on Spotify, the singer had 452 monthly listeners ahead of her Yellowstone debut, but we imagine that number will grow thanks to her ties to the Sheridan-verse. In 2023, the country artist released one of her most popular singles, “Get To Me,” and her Spotify bio gives a deeper sense of who she is as an artist:
“Trading traditional, flat countryside pastures for impeccable mountainscapes, dry desert richness and gleaming strip lights, Siena is a neon cowgirl out of none other than Las Vegas. Siena’s rodeo stage is set, having already shared it with Rascal Flatts, Big & Rich, and Rodney Atkins, to name a few. These artists also are her influences along with icons like Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, and Fleetwood Mac. Unlike most artists her age, she moves away from modern country-pop and dives more into her roots of 2000s country, in both her music and fashion. Siena is an artist the twenty-first century has yet to see. To her, being an artist means spreading light and inspiration. ‘I hope to engage my audiences with positivity and love,’ says Siena. ‘With the lyrics and melodies created, I want people to engage that at home feeling when they hear my music. I want my listeners to feel fun, encouraged, lively, and free.’ Siena’s sunshine personality and authentic country charm have captivated diverse audiences for years. With her deep, rustic vocals, she’s destined to carry on country traditions with her music. Siena relies heavily upon traditional country storytelling to express herself as she looks to paint stories through personal experiences.”
Before she was singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Yellowstone, Paglia sang the National Anthem at rodeo events and NASCAR races, per Nashville Music Guide. Notably, she performed the song for a 2021 equestrian event by Yellowstone showrunner Taylor Sheridan, which kickstarted their professional relationship and ultimately opened the door for her Season 5 cameo.
“He’s had me sing for him a few times,” Paglia told Nashville Music Guide in a January 2023 interview. “He flew me down to the ranch in Texas to sing, and to perform at some other horse shows as well.”
