Simpson has performed for troops overseas and in the US. She commented on the opportunity saying, "[The First Lady] asked me to sing for the troops. That's a huge honor for me. Just to be there and show my support and say thank you."

The performance will take place during the Rockies vs. Mets baseball game and is just one event on the roster for Mrs. Obama and the vice president's wife Jill Biden's program to honor America's service members.

Simpson visited troops in the Persian Gulf in October. After her time aboard the USS Harry S. Truman she tweeted, "I'm forever changed after this last week."
