Saw those comments coming a mile away.
After teasing a new tour back in January through his personal website – the only place where the country star shares news from now – Garth Brooks would officially announce his return to touring on his brand new Blame It All On My Roots arena tour. And it’s been a long time coming for the “The Thunder Rolls” singer.
The 64-year-old country star last brought his music to the masses with his Stadium Tour, which played its final show in the fall of 2022. Garth’s Las Vegas residency – Garth Brooks/Plus ONE – followed after that, but even that wrapped in July of 2024. All that to say, it certainly seems like the perfect time for the aging superstar to return to touring.
At the time, Brooks would only announce two shows: the first two nights – August 21st and 22nd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Along the way, he’d make a plethora of different announcements regarding the tour. These included promising a live album titled Killer Live (which sent off a firestorm online thanks to Tom Segura’s world-famous joke) and cutting-edge technology such as a 360-degree video system that he’s coined “The Halo,” which will feature both inward and outward-facing screens.
Since then, he’s added four nights in Denver, which included a pop-up show under his long-forgotten alias, Yukon Jack, two nights in Washington, D.C. at the Capital One Arena on September 18th and 19th, two nights in Orlando, Florida, at the Kia Center on September 25th and 26th, expanded his stay at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, to four days from October 8th through the 11th and most recently booked three nights near his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, from October 23rd through 25th.
So far, it’s been nothing short of a huge success. As previously mentioned, he’s had to add nights to nearly every single stop, selling out three to four nights each in the likes of Indianapolis, Denver and Washington D.C. the past month. With that being said, this is still Garth Brooks we’re talking about, and despite the successful run of shows so far, he’s still been getting trolled online from time to time. This weekend was no different when he performed three nights in Orlando at the Kia Center.
On Friday, during the first of three of three nights at the Kia Center, Garth made his now-patented entrance by rising out of the piano during the set’s opening song, “The Old Stuff.” While, of course, the piano entrance is nothing new, serving as an homage to his string of shows from 1996-1998 during the second Garth Brooks World Tour, fans were quick to bring the jokes early in often in the comment section of a now-viral TikTok.
Unsurprisingly, fans were finding all sorts of ways to reference Segura’s world-famous “Where are the bodies?” bit, dropping hilarious lines ranging from pondering if he hides the bodies in the piano to cracking jokes about him still jumping out of the piano at 64 years old.
“So he keeps the bodies in old pianos”
“Always skedaddlin around”
“Garth murdered my entire family”
“Overratated and underhated!”
“That was a risky jump for those old knees”
“Corny by 2026 standards”
“Any bodies pop up close to the venue?”
“I didn’t like it in the 90’s and don’t like [it] now”
“Careful grandpa. You’re gonna throw a hip out”
I have to admit, it’s still pretty impressive to see Garth out there jumping and running around — especially at 64 — for three to four straight nights. You definitely can’t knock him for that. With that being said, however, there’s some solid gold comments here.
