    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.

  • Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood 'Fighting' Over New Song on 'Man Against Machine'

    Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks are one of music's exemplary couples — drama is typically at a minimum with these two.But the gloves appear to be off after Brooks used a song on his new "Man Against Machine" album — due tomorrow, Nov. 11 — that Yearwood coveted for her own collection."It's called 'Tacoma,'" she told The Boot. "It should be mine. It's one of those things where, usually when another artist records a song, you're like, 'OK, it's over,' but even if that's a single, if that's a big hit for him, I'm still going to record that song one day. It's my song."Brooks made "Tacoma" the final song on the new album, a spot he typically reserves for his favorite tune."I think it's just to add insult to injury," Yearwood said. "He knows how much I love it! ... We're not fighting over it, but I really do love that song, and I would love to record it myself some day."
