Garth Brooks found a way last night (9/28) during his weekly Facebook Live chat Studio G to perform for fans live and hear the applause coming right back at him.

Garth performed a few songs as did his wife Trisha Yearwood in front of a virtual studio audience…each person attending safely from home…but all there for him to interact with in a colorful sea of monitors and screens, each filled with a smiling face.

Brooks said before he performed, “If this thing goes like I’m hoping it’s going to go, this is going to become the future. I’m fired up." After his performance, he said of the applause, “A sound I haven’t heard in so long!”

Trisha Yearwood got into the action performing her new song “I’ll Carry You Home.” After she sang her emotion in her voice was evident saying, “You’re the first audience – live audience – that I’ve gotten a chance to sing in front of, and so it’s like…it’s just…I just…this is a really cool thing.”

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
