  • Garth Brooks Brings Ellen DeGeneres and Fans to Tears During Performance of "Mom" from 'Man Against Machine' [WATCH]

    Garth Brooks has one heavy hitter in his new arsenal of songs titled "Mom," and it's a tribute to mother's everywhere. He made Robin Roberts and some audience members of "Good Morning America" break down earlier this month with the 'Man Against Machine' ballad. Now, there's video from the singer's Nov. 25 stop at "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and he gets the host a little teary-eyed there too. Brooks himself has trouble keeping it together during the song too.

  • Thanksgiving Parody: Elementary Students Sing Garth Brooks's 'I Got Friends in Low Places' as 'I Hate Yams in All Places' [LISTEN]

    There is nothing like a good, old-fashioned Thanksgiving parody. DJ Richie Philips at WGNA in Albany, New York, got some elementary school students to sing about their least favorite holiday dish: yams. The kicker? The song is titled "I Hate Yams in All Places" and it is set to the tune of a little ditty made famous by Garth Brooks called "I've Got Friends in Low Places," Taste of Country notes."It's Thanksgiving Day, there's food that we hate / There's also some foods that we like," the children sing, trying to nail down the melody. "When it's all on my dish, and they serve me fish / I'd rather be out on my bike."The students really give it their all in the video below, and it all comes to a climax at the reworked chorus."I hate yams in all places / I'd rather chew on my shoelaces / But it's only right to be polite / It's only right to tell my mother / Feed those yams to my brother," they sing.

  • Garth Brooks Facebook, Twitter: Singer Says He Personally Handles Social Media Posts

    Garth Brooks is now on Facebook and Twitter. In fact, he is showing a real enthusiasm for the whole social media thing, but he had good reasons for staying off the sites for several years."Well, up till August of this year, you've gotta remember, I was in my children's life," Brooks told the "Sean & Richie Show," via The Boot. "That was everything. And, no offense, I didn't feel it was right to share that."Things have changed, though."Pretty cool now, though: The kids are all gone, we're out on tour and people want to know about that?" he said. "Heck, yeah, I can talk about that all day long."Brooks said he is personally handling his own social media posts, marked "Love, g" at the bottom. "Team Garth" is still posting regularly on both sites.

  • Trisha Yearwood Says This Garth Brooks Tour Is Different Thanks to New Role, Great Crowds

    Trisha Yearwood had been on the road twice with husband Garth Brooks before the couple set off on Brooks's comeback tour this fall.This time, though, her role is much different."When I toured with Garth the other two times, I opened for him," she told "USA Today." "The first time we toured together, I never was on stage with him. And so in '98, I would come out and maybe do one song, and then that would be it. So this is a really new experience for me to come out in the middle of his show and do a full set."Yearwood admitted she was nervous to hit the road this time around."I didn't know how I would be received," she said. "I thought, 'Well, I'll be shiny quarter for a song or two, but what is really gonna happen?' And it's been wonderful. They've been so welcoming, and they sing all the songs. Those crowds. There's nothing like those crowds. I've always said that there's nothing like a Garth crowd."She has also got a TV career to maintain while away from home. The Boot noted that "Trisha's Southern Kitchen" is an Emmy-winning show.
