Garth Brooks and Dolly Parton have a few things in common: both are country music icons with record-setting careers that have transcended the genre. Both have also never been afraid to speak up for what they believe in and back that talk by walking the walk with their wallets.
So perhaps it’s no surprise that as the duo prepares to co-host the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards, (Thursday, 8 p.m. ET, Amazon Prime), they’re on the same page when it comes to how the evening can resonate with viewers.
