  1. When Garth Brooks walked out with his cowboy hat on all the Qanon supporters thought – My God! Garth is Q and he’s here to wreak vengeance upon the Democrats! It’s the storm! Wait…no he’s just singing.

    1. @Moving on ! Next ! The United States Socialist Republic is the country he’s referring to and not the USA. It’s not possible to be a leftist and a patriotic American.

    2. LOL! I wish I could have been a fly on the wall at one of those underground Q rallys.. The amount of tears was probably epic!

    1. Most artists can, but few can make that a show. Especially one that stops the world in its tracks, to really _feel_ the moment.

  2. As a Hip Hop fan first. I gotcha Garth. Country is some of the best writing you’ll find. Lose 1 fan and gain 2 equals Unity.

    1. @Donny Potoi country enough for what. He’s really not country he’s too country the same way green day is too rock. There pop artist

    2. @Toke Joker I get what you’re saying however he wrote country styled songs, that’s where he originated and yes he did make that mistake when he tried coming out with that alter ego and his music began sounding pop.. however when he was forced to get back to his roots, he was is and still remained country ..

    3. @Donny Potoi hey if you like him its whatever I’m just saying dudes a pop star and so removed from his roots

    1. @don juran honestly I find Doctor Jill Biden’s compassion, intelligence and eloquence much more attractive than… Let’s just say that you are wrong and “mad” is a characteristic more befitting of a typical under endowed trumpie. Sell your anger elsewhere jr. We are by the people and for the people.

    2. @Thomas Armsworthy Jr in all likelihood it was because putin controlled our war effort. trump tried to tangle with iran but fortunately cooler heads prevailed. As for the economy… I am so tired of rolling my eyes about undeserved credit. “Lowest black unemployment…”? The Obama administration graduated more black college students than ever before so add one plus one. ugh! There are so very many examples. Obama built it and trump took credit for it. trump never had a plan for anything.

  3. I am a black woman. I am also a proud let me say this louder proud supporter of country music! What Garth did and especially the song choice was the most Patriotic/unifying/healing thing that we as all Americans need right now! Beautiful

    1. 47 year old white lady here, and I dislike country music. But I’m glad he is doing his best to unify and heal this country

    2. Garth Brooks has always stood up to offer inspiration in times of American tragedy. He was there for the Oklahoma City bombing, hurricane Katrina, 9/11. The new tragedy is the 400,000 people who Trump callously allowed to die from Covid, as well as the worsening racial injustice. This is Trump’s American carnage. And Garth Brooks is here to again inspire hope for the future.

  4. Garth, you did the right thing. Singing has nothing to do with politics. Its what you sing about… The level of ignorance in this country is overwhelming.

  5. Garth Brooks wants to move beyond the fear and pettiness. This was about the country and not about black and white. We love you Garth ❤🇺🇸🙏👏👏👏👏

    1. who said it was about black and white? there are not only two types of people in the world.. life isnt jus black n white, left n right… up or down…. i know most brainwashed people think there is only two types of people in this world. republicans n democrats… . when in reality, left wing + right wing = two wings to the same bird. left n right is one in the same .. anybody who doesn’t see it has been brainwashed since birth to believe this soap opera …. ghosts ,aliens , gods , voting = all fake. lmfao

    2. I’d say that the chance to reach hundreds of millions of potential Garth Brooks customers for just belting out a song Miiiiiiiiiiight have had its own blunt appeal, too.

  6. Garth was the one that people need to appreciate the most – he took more risk than Lady Gaga and JLo

    1. @DJ Jones Arnold played a super hero in the movies so naturally, Californians voted for him thinking he would save California and the world.
      Garth is patriotic alright but not to the USA. His hometown of Yukon, Oklahoma removed his name from the city of Yukon water tower. Oklahoma has disowned him.

  7. I’d put money on his career will not be hurt. In fact it may benefit him and for those who hate – he doesn’t need them.

    1. Yeah he could help remove stigma from the art form, make country more universal in America, I can see that as a non American. I’m not sure I believe(cough I don’t cough) that’s the motivation but Mr Brooks is clearly putting country first and let’s not forget he refused to sing at Trumpenstein’s orange monster’s inauguration 4 years ago when all the GOP decided to sell their arses to Der Trumpenfuhrer, so I think we can conclude he ain’t no effing shyster like most Repubic politicians.

  8. He has a lesbian sister. Conservatives attacked him for some pro lgbt stand he took. He’s felt their ‘christian’ wrath before.

    1. @Eugene Sant Sounds like you have something to get off your chest. You’re clinging to it.

      My first wife got pregnant from someone else. It’s now been long ago and the best thing happened as we parted company. She’s a whacko.

      You?

    2. @Just One Truth no…
      I just don’t like the guy and want to remind people that the woman who stuck with him through all
      The bar gigs and probably supported him in the lean times before the record deals….he
      Dumped for Trisha Yearwood.
      Isn’t that her name? I’m not really a fan of either. I listen to yngwie.

    3. @Just One Truth my quest is to
      Destroy all Democrats….but I like
      To pick off the occasional traitor Republican along the way. Garth
      Romney, McConnell, etc. just turds
      From the same punch bowl.

    1. A real Republican woulda stepped forward and helped trump for the last 4 yrs. He would definitely played for the president when requested and changed his schedule. Hes BS.

    2. @charles harper there are no neo nazi’s following trump you fricken moron. Hes sided with Jews and helped black people more than any other recent president. The nazi’s is a trick you sheep repeat to other sheep. Go to a trump rally and find me a nazi. Trump rallies are families of all races standing together. It’s all love 100%. Stop spreading the CNN lies.

    3. @charles harper the nazi’s were socialists you tool. Antifa and the dems are nazi’s not the Republicans

    1. That’s just what I was thinking about that he has enough money and not buying his albums is not gonna hurt him and he is more for our country than for sides.

    2. @itomba that’s not Garths problem that is their problem now and by the way he did what he thought was right for his country he still is his own person.

  9. I don’t know what Brooks’s politics are, I don’t care what Brooks’s politics are but I do know, and not just on this event, that he is a decent man who has always treated everyone with respect. I am pretty sure that the soulless haters are not going to ruin his career

    1. Brooks is a dicky-don supporter. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was one of those who stormed the US Capitol
