25	----
26	!!Her songs provide examples of:
27	* AdvertisedExtra: In Canada only, Music/GarthBrooks received chart credit for his backing vocal on "Like We Never Had a Broken Heart" (which he also co-wrote). "[=PrizeFighter=]", the title track of her 2014 album, gave a feature credit to Music/KellyClarkson for her backing vocals. [[Music/{{Eagles}} Don Henley]] gets a featured credit for background vocals on "Walkaway Joe".
28	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: "Walkaway Joe" gives an excellent example of why this isn't a great trope to live your life by.
29	* CoverVersion:
30	** ''Let's Be Frank'' is composed entirely of Music/FrankSinatra covers except for one song.[[note]]That one song is "For the Last Time", which Yearwood co-wrote with her husband Garth Brooks and which talks about how she's in love for the last time in her life with him; it made this album because it is of a similar style to Sinatra's music, instead of her normal country sound.[[/note]]
31	** She teamed up with Garth to cover "Shallow" from ''[[Film/AStarIsBorn2018 A Star is Born]]''.
32	* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Katie in "She's In Love With the Boy": her father hates her boyfriend, Tommy, until the mother points out that Katie's actions toward Tommy are no different than the mother's toward the father's when they first met.
33	** In "Walkway Joe," the mother warns her 17-year-old daughter to "take it real slow" with this guy, because she suspects he's bad news. Unlike in "She's in Love with the Boy," the mother is 100% correct, and the daughter is left alone in a hotel room after her boyfriend robs a gas station.
34	* DrivenToSuicide: According to writer Gretchen Peters, this happens to the man in "On a Bus to St. Cloud", whose face the narrator swears that she sees in every crowd.
35	* FakeShemp: "[=PrizeFighter=]" was originally recorded with Music/KellyClarkson on backing vocals. When she sings the song live, Music/GarthBrooks usually sings the harmonies.
36	* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: "The Woman Before Me" is from the perspective of the new girlfriend, pointing out all the ways her love's previous (seemingly toxic) relationship are affecting their current one. She concludes that when he snaps at her, she thinks he "must be talking to/the woman before me and you."
37	* GreatestHitsAlbum: ''(Songbook) A Collection of Hits'' and ''Greatest Hits'' are fairly standard hits packages, while ''[=PrizeFighter=]: Hit After Hit'' features re-recordings due to her being on a different label at the time.
38	* ILied: "Believe Me Baby (I Lied)":
39	-->When I said it would suit me fine\
40	If you were out of sight and out of mind\
41	That wasn't me talking, that was my foolish pride\
42	When I said I didn't want your love\
43	And you were no one I was thinking of\
44	Believe me, baby, I lied
45	* LetHerGrowUpDear: "She's in Love with the Boy" has a classic example of this in its third verse, where Katie's father is about to unleash his wrath upon Katie's boyfriend Tommy when they come home after midnight. Katie's mother breaks in and reminds her husband that he wasn't that much different from Tommy back in the day, and that they had faced just as much opposition from ''her'' father.
46	-->''"My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick;\
47	When it came to brains, you had the short end of the stick.\
48	But he was wrong, and honey, you are too.\
49	Katie looks at Tommy [[HappilyMarried like I still look at you.]]"''
50	* ListingCities: Done briefly in "You Can Sleep While I Drive":
51	-->We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe\
52	And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay\
53	I'll buy you boots down in Texas, a hat from New Orleans…
54	* LoveNostalgiaSong: "Georgia Rain", "The Song Remembers When"
55	* LyricalColdOpen: "Heaven, Heartache, and the Power of Love", "Broken"
56	* ModestyTowel: The video for "There Goes My Baby" opens with her wearing one.
57	* TheNotRemix: ''[=PrizeFighter=]: Hit After Hit'' features re-recordings of her major hits which were done to sound as much like the originals as possible.
58	* NotStayingForBreakfast: "Walkaway Joe":
59	-->Somewhere in a roadside motel room\
60	Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon\
61	And reaches for his arm\
62	But she'll just keep reachin' on...
63	* ParentalHypocrisy: "She's in Love With the Boy" is about a girl who's in love with a boy while her father complains about how stupid and worthless the boy is; it's revealed in the third verse that the girl's parents' relationship was very similar to their daughter's in its early days.
64	* TheOneThatGotAway: "There Goes My Baby":
65	-->He was the kind of guy who loved so unselfishly\
66	And everyone could see what a prize he was\
67	Everyone but me\
68	I must be blind\
69	I must be the kind who don't know what they have\
70	'Til they're all alone and sad\
71	There goes my baby...
72	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Several of her albums were produced by ''Garth'' Fundis, and she was constantly involved from the beginning with ''Garth'' Brooks, whom she later married.
73	* RecordProducer: As mentioned above, almost all of her albums were produced by Garth Fundis. Songwriter Harry Stinson co-produced ''Thinkin' About You''; Tony Brown produced ''Where Your Road Leads''; Mark Wright produced ''Inside Out''; and Mark Miller[[note]]Brooks' longtime sound engineer, not the lead singer of Sawyer Brown[[/note]] produced some of the tracks on ''[=PrizeFighter=]: Hit After Hit''. Don Was of Music/WasNotWas produced ''Let's Be Frank'', and she went back to Fundis for ''Every Girl''.
74	* TechnicianVersusPerformer: She is the Technician to her husband's Performer; while she does well onstage, she freely admits that she's got nothing on Garth when it comes to sheer stage presence, charisma, and performing ability. But while Garth has a voice that is decent-but-not-spectacular -- his success is due entirely to his ''performance'' ability -- Trisha's has been cited as one of the best the genre has ever seen.
75	* TomatoSurprise: The last line of "Victim of the Game" reveals that the singer is addressing the song to herself.
