Garth Brooks announced at a press conference today (July 29) that he is pulling himself out of the Country Music Association’s entertainer of the year category. Garth won the award in 2019, 2017, 2016, 1998, 1997, 1992, and 1991.
“It’s time for somebody else to hold that award,” Garth said.
After winning CMA Entertainer of the Year for the seventh time, Garth recalled a tweet he had read that struck a chord.
‘There’s one tweet in there that really stuck in my head,” Brooks said in a press conference Wednesday. “It said, ‘Hey, man. This guy, why doesn’t he just step down (and leave) the entertainer for the next generation?’ 100% agree.”
“With all the love in the world, we are officially pulling ourselves out of ‘Entertainer of the Year.’
