This is the performance Broadway needs…
Garth Brooks is prepping for the grand opening of his bar, Friends in Low Places, on Nashville’s packed Broadway bar scene. While Garth said that he and his bride, Trisha Yearwood, were not planning on attending the grand opening, he would make an exception if one guest showed up.
Hopping on the NFL and Taylor Swift train, Brooks invited Travis Kelce to his grand opening. But he did not just invite him…he wants Kelce to sing.
“Big man, I’m just telling you this. I will be at the grand opening if you’re there.”
Garth extended the invitation during an episode of his Inside Studio G:
“I’ll send a plane if you want another shot at the title. If you want to come sing that, I’ll send a plane. You can come by yourself or bring your brother or your gang, whatever you want to do. The plane holds 11, just remember that.
So, yes, I’ll be happy to send this invite out to you if you want to try a little ‘Friends in Low Places’ in Friends in Low Places.”
Brooks must really want this to happen if he is offering up a plane for Kelce and his crew to come out to Nashville.
The idea of having Kelce to sing “Friends in Low Places” arose after he took the big stage, giving a colorful performance of the hit during the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City. The intoxicated Kelce sang it with confidence, and Brooks loved it.
“Did you guys see Travis Kelce’s version of ‘Friends in Low Places?’ Did you see him sing this? I loved it, I thought it was fantastic. It blew me away because I’m sitting there watching it as it’s going down, right. I never expected that.”
While I am not sure I agree with Brooks’ statement that it blew me away, it was 100% a sight to see. I agree it would be legendary if Swift and Kelce showed up at the bar for the grand opening, but Brooks seems a little overzealous in trying to get him to the bar (ulterior motive, maybe? Added body, maybe?).
Kelce better brush up on those lyrics before taking the stage on Broadway.
