And when Yearwood stepped on stage to honor her, there was hardly a dry eye in the house. Ronstadt couldn\u2019t help but tear up when the music began, and then the cameras cut to Brooks, who was undoubtedly choked up with pride for his wife.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-auya5i emevuu60\" data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\">Others sang and clapped along, including Rita Wilson and Kevin Jonas. And when the performance ended, Ronstadt seemed pleased\u2014she gave Yearwood a standing ovation, clapping with a tissue in hand.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\"><strong>(Time mark: 13:21)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Linda Ronstadt | Kennedy Center Honors\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zt9P9Lg8aXg\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"350\" data-origheight=\"235\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-auya5i emevuu60\" data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\">Yearwood went on to cover another Ronstadt song with R&amp;B legend Aaron Neville.
