"I am so thankful to also come from a city of hardworking people," Barrett said before the game. "That is something I highly respect about being in Pittsburgh and being from Pittsburgh."

"This is just something I'll always remember and will mean a lot to me so thank you very much," Barrett said.

She'll also perform a concert after the game
