Even At Another Concert, A Garth Brooks Classic Takes Center Stage With Justin Timberlake’s Help

It’s rare to witness two musical giants collaborate onstage, creating an unforgettable night for both the live audience and the online community. However, this is exactly what occurred when pop icon Justin Timberlake was joined by country star Garth Brooks at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The crowd was completely taken by surprise, but the partnership felt perfectly natural once the performance commenced.

This collaboration took place during Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 tour, which was launched to celebrate his 2013 album “The 20/20 Experience”. Fans were greatly surprised when Garth Brooks joined him on stage, not to perform a Timberlake song, but to sing one of Brooks’ most famous tracks: “Friends In Low Places”. Despite the unusual pairing, the performance was a massive success with the audience. Watch the video below:

At the beginning of the video, the crowd is buzzing with anticipation, possibly sensing someone or something approaching offscreen. Justin responds to their excitement by saying, “I mean, this is the country music capital of the world, right?”, and plays a few notes on his guitar. From that moment, the audience realizes that something special is about to unfold; as Justin starts singing “Friends in Low Places”, the crowd already knows every word and joins in singing along.

“Friends in Low Places” is one of Garth Brooks’ signature songs, solidifying his popularity among country music enthusiasts. He has won 22 Academy of Country Music Awards and received an impressive 47 nominations over his extensive career. His music not only resonates deeply with fans but also his unique fusion of pop and country has made him accessible to a broader audience. Listen to the original version of “Friends in Low Places” in the video below:

While Justin Timberlake was performing Brooks’ classic hit, the crowd was already ecstatic, singing along with great enthusiasm. The excitement reached new heights when Brooks himself took the stage, embraced Justin, and they continued the song together. The sense of unity during this performance, with the audience singing along, the backing musicians smiling and enjoying the moment, and both Garth and Justin delivering a true country classic, was a delight to witness.

Garth Brooks is celebrated for his warm personality and genuine commitment to the country music genre. He is also exceptionally supportive of his fans, often going the extra mile to brighten their lives. During another performance at the Target Centre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he noticed a fan holding a sign that read: “Chemo this morning. Garth tonight. Enjoying the dance”. Brooks saw the sign, paused the performance to offer her words of encouragement, and gifted her his guitar.
