“I want to thank Shania Twain for always making such theatrical videos, and Garth Brooks for always putting the fans first. I take my cues from you.” — Taylor Swift at the 2009 Country Music Television Awards

I might repeat ramblings from an earlier post, but I still need to get these feelings from my chest.

As much ridicule as I got in elementary school, I never stopped professing my liking Garth Brooks music. I continued that support throughout high school and college. But somewhere along that time, it’s not so much that I stopped liking Garth Brooks, it’s more I stopped talking about him.

Garth Brooks – Beyond The Season (1992)

In the realm of music, I think Garth Brooks is one of the most underrated artists in history. The biggest strike against him is that he’s a country singer. How many people listen to country? Not many. But what you should know is that Garth Brooks is the first solo artist in the history of the Recording Industry Association of America and Soundscan to sell a hundred million albums. To Brooks’ credit, he always confessed that Elvis should have had that distinction since Elvis lived in a time of fuzzy record keeping.
