Garth Brooks

Travis received the CMT Artist of a Lifetime award during the 2021 CMT Artists of the Year event on Wednesday night (Oct. 13).

Her sign said, "Garth ... it's our 1st concert." The singer made it worthwhile.

Performances of the song's unreleased lyric aren't clandestine, but they're hardly plentiful.

Brooks also canceled a planned ticket onsale date for a September show in Seattle, Wash.

In July 2020, Brooks said he was pulling his name out of the running for CMA Entertainer of the Year. He still feels the same way in 2021.
