"I don’t know how to say this," he began. "But but when we first started singing together, she told me I had to . After every song, I had to bow to her." Reading between the lines View this post on Instagram A post shared by Garth Brooks (@garthbrooks) At the time, Brooks delivered this initial answer in a deadpan tone. However, a few things happened to let viewers in on the joke. First, delayed laughter sounded from Brooks. Then, a woman exclaimed off-screen, "I don’t think so!" There's no official word, but it's highly suspected that voice belonged to Yearwood. In response to all this, Brooks added, "Oh, yeah, you’re singing with the queen. Then she probably started feeling guilty I was bowing, so she’d bowed back." Then he elaborated more on just how this bowing tradition started. "I think it’s just ... respect," he went on. "Long before I thought it was even possible to date the woman, much less marry her, I was the biggest fan of Trisha Yearwood’s voice you can imagine. One of the greatest crimes in country music history right now is that Trisha Yearwood is not in the Country Music Hall of Fame yet. That is a crime, because I can’t tell you how many people have moved to this because of this woman’s voice. This is the greatest singer we have in country music, arguably." In short, it's just what he feels compelled to do to show his respect for "the queen."
