Garth Brooks Gets Teary-Eyed Talking About His Favorite Christmas Tradition: “I’m Gonna Start Crying, Sorry”
I'll allow it, since this is actually pretty sweet.
Of course, Garth Brooks is known to cry at pretty much the drop of a hat, so to speak, and during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night... you guessed, it, he got teary-eyed while talking about some of his most cherished Christmas traditions.
It had initially been reported that his appearance on the show, and his musical performance, had been canceled (and that was confirmed by the live audience company 1iota), but it seems as though something was worked out because he still took the stage to sing a cover of "Fishin' In The Dark" and do a pretty lengthy interview.
Obviously, in terms of his private life, the country superstar has a lot going on right now due to sexual assault and misconduct allegations by a former employee, which he has denied from the start of all the allegations.
He's still in the beginning stages of what could turn into a drawn-out legal battle, however, Brooks and his lawyers are doing everything in their power to expedite the process – recently filing to move the lawsuit to federal court, and then asking for the case to be thrown out altogether.
It's all obviously ongoing, but Garth is continuing to go about his life and prior commitments, notably including his current Las Vegas residency.
And I guess Brooks is in the Christmas spirit a little early this year, because when talking to Kimmel about how his three daughters always decorate their tree first with three bells they've had since they were little girls, he got teary-eyed, telling Kimmel he was "gonna start crying" talking about it.
It probably came as a surprise to no one, but I can't blame him for shedding a few tears while talking about his daughters and such a special tradition (everything else he cries about... well, that's a different story, but I digress):
"I love Christmas, so I can't have enough Christmas. To me, ornaments are cool, but they gotta have a meaning to them. Like, we always decorate with the three girls since we've known each other.
So the three girls have three bells, and that's the first thing that has to go on the tree. I'm gonna start crying, sorry... that's the first thing that goes on the tree, and that means it's Christmas, and that means it's time to love one another and drop all this silly sh*t and just have some fun together."
Garth appeared on the show to promote his current project The Anthology Part IV, and he also talked about the first time his daughters met Trisha Yearwood, which was a great story too.
You can watch the full interview here, and the tears start to come up around the 3:50 mark:
