In preparation for her appearance in the game, Ms. Yearwood
joined Phuong Phillips, Zynga’s Chief Legal Officer and Women at
Zynga (WAZ) executive sponsor, for a WAZ Community Breakfast and
listening party as she debuted her new single “Every Girl in This
Town,” which celebrates females achieving their potential in every
environment.
"As someone who plays FarmVille and having grown up on a farm in
Georgia, the game ties back to my roots," says Trisha Yearwood.
"With women also being the central characters in all the FarmVille
games, it shows that farming -- like music, tech, politics, science
and entrepreneurship -- should be accessible to anyone."
“So much has happened in the last decade, across technology,
entertainment, and attitudes,” adds Yearwood. “But there are shared
experiences that endure and bring people together, like those
special songs that become anthems or a powerhouse game like
FarmVille. I’m proud to now share a new anniversary with Zynga, and
had an incredible experience visiting their headquarters, meeting
the team, and sharing my own road with other dynamic women in
entertainment.”
“FarmVille is a cultural phenomenon and an important contributor
to the growth of games as it brought together hundreds of millions
of players from all over the world,” says Zynga President of
Publishing, Bernard Kim. “Having country superstar Trisha Yearwood
join us by bringing her spirit of strength and independence with
‘Every Girl in This Town,’ truly makes this anniversary a moment of
celebration.”
In the coming months, Trisha Yearwood will appear in-game as a
down-to-earth farmhand avatar in FarmVille 2: Country Escape.
Trisha’s new inspirational single, “Every Girl in This Town,” will
play as she helps fans find rare items on their farms and gain
access to in-game rewards that help them meet their daily
goals.
Zynga is currently developing a brand new FarmVille mobile
title, its newest addition to the iconic franchise, which will
introduce players to new characters and an exciting twist to the
gameplay experience.
