Taylor Swift sang the national anthem at a Double-A Reading Phillies game 11 years ago. She returned to the area Saturday night to sing the anthem again, but this time on a bigger stage.The Wyomissing, Penn., native sang the national anthem at Game 3 of the World Series Saturday night in Philadelphia. The performance came in front of sellout crowd before the Phillies 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.Swift had some Country company as well. Tim McGraw, song of the late Phillies 3rd baseman Tug McGraw, delivered the ball to the pitcher's mound. Although Swift has performed in front of large crowds before, this one was still a little different."I can't lie, I was nervous," she said. "I didn't feel it until I was halfway through the song and then my legs started shaking."It's the World Series, and it's my home and Tim McGraw's here. No pressure or anything, right?"
