Being 16 is hard enough, but Danielle Bradbery, the hometown semifinalist on The Voice, is sure making the most of a special year.
Bradbery came home to Cypress — and Cypress Ranch High School, where she's now regarded as a celebrity more than a classmate — to film a segment for the hit NBC show. When Bradbery arrived at the school Wednesday, the student body greeted her with music, cheers and autograph requests. A special pep rally was held in her honor where she was serenaded and she got to visit with old friends.
That night, The Voice's youngest competitor fulfilled a longtime dream at Minute Maid Park, belting out the National Anthem before the Houston Astros game. Bradbery was good luck too. The Astros ended up belting six home runs to beat the Baltimore Orioles 11-7.

Steve Lacy is visiting three Texas cities in November.
Alternative R&B artist Steve Lacy has announced a new North American tour called the Oh yeah? Tour, which will stop at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land on Sunday, November 8.
The 27-city tour starts September 27 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and ends November 30 in Vancouver, British Columbia. There are three Texas stops on the list; in addition to Houston, the tour stops in Irving on November 5 and Austin on November 7.
Lacy released his third studio album, Oh yeah?, on July 17 via RCA Records. This collection of 10 songs comes with some big collaborators, including SZA and Erykah Badu, plus the more niche but well-established Cecile Believe. A press release connects the album to "carefully engineered visuals" — that includes the dreamlike new music video for "doom," out July 29, which prominently features women bodybuilders.
Oh yeah? is Lacy's first album in four years, and its tour is also his first headlining run since 2022's, the sold-out Give You The World Tour. His 2022 album, Gemini Rights, won a Grammy award for Best Progressive R&B Album.
Tickets will be available starting Friday, August 14, at 10 am via wearesteve.net.
