Garth Brooks Says a Conflict Prevented Him From Singing at Trump’s Inauguration
January 21, 2021
Some conservative fans of country music legend Garth Brooks have taken to social media to criticize him for performing at the inauguration ceremony of Democratic President Joe Biden. Brooks, who performed the gospel standard "Amazing Grace," did not sing at the 2017 swearing-in of Republican Donald Trump, citing a scheduling conflict. Brooks said he accepted the Biden invitation out of a sense of unity, because he believes reaching across the aisle is the only way to heal divisions.
