Garth Brooks Says His Vegas Shows Are ‘Crazy’

Garth Brooks is on week three of his Las Vegas residency, "Garth Brooks/Plus ONE" at Caesars Palace, and according to the country music icon, things have been getting a bit wild. On Studio G last night (6/5), Brooks noted, "It's crazy!"

Garth said it's hard to describe what his shows are like, but they are all distinct. He said, "It's like every week in that room just gets…more fun, but it's a different kind of fun! It's been a blast. [And yet] it's just starting. And I gotta tell ya – if it gets bigger than this, I don't know if I'm going to be able to survive it."

What's more, Brooks says the residency is living up to its name and his original vision for it – each performance has been truly unique, with no night even coming close to mirroring another. "We haven't done the same show."

"Garth Brooks/Plus ONE" will continue this year, and just last week, tickets for the residency's second year, 2024, went on sale.

Brooks recently interviewed Reba about her upcoming book, Not That Fancy, on his Studio G. During the interview, they found out they have something in common: getting their love of dogs from their partners. Of course, Garth and Reba McEntire are also natives of Oklahoma and are both country music icons.

Reba posted a clip on her Instagram from her and Garth's recent interview on Brooks' Studio G last month, where Garth and her find out their significant others showed them how to fall in love with a dog. Brooks says in the clip, "I noticed in your book you write a lot about your horses and your dogs. We have a special dog; I mean a special dog that was my left arm, and her name was Dottie. We worked together; we did everything together. Did you have one like that?"

Reba answered, "Not growing up. Not until Rex (Linn) and I got together did I fall in love with a dog. Riddler, a French bulldog, a show dog, he was a champion, and he got lymphoma last year, and we lost him, and we miss him so much."

Brooks says, "It's funny. I think being with Miss Yearwood she's taught me that dogs are more like family members. I'm sure, like on your farm, we used them more as tools, and they were great hands and great helps, but she falls in love with them; they become family members, so it's kind of rubbing off on me now."

Reba responds, "Oh, good. Well, that's the same way Rex has been a dog lover all his life, an animal lover, and like you said, we had cow dogs, but they didn't come in the house and, you know, hop up on the couch and watch TV with us as our dogs do now. Part of my childhood was missing that special bond and a love for that kind of animal."

Reba captioned the post, "Our partners, Trisha and Rex, sure have taught Garth and me a lot about loving animals!"

Garth Brooks is a country superstar that can command a stadium full of people in any city he plays, even though his last stadium tour is one that he says was his last. Now with his sites set on a Las Vegas "Garth Brooks / Plus One" at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace residency for the foreseeable future, Garth is celebrating his 61st birthday today (2/7).

Brooks chatted with fans on his weekly Studio G recently (1/9). He said, "I'll tell you right now, this will be the busiest year of our career." It's a big statement coming from a guy who's filled many years of his life on the road and in the studio. He added, "There are going to be so many things happening this year."

Later in the year, he and Trisha Yearwood are committed to a Habitat for Humanity building project on behalf of former President and First Lady Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. But what else does he have on tap? He does have his new downtown Nashville entertainment venue, Friends in Low Places. Brooks laughs, "This year, we get to open up, I hope."

Garth is also expecting to return to the recording studio this year. He offered, "The studio is going to be wide open this year. We're going to go in and just do a lot of things that probably never will see the light of day. But, to be honest with you, those are my favorite sessions." He added, "This'll probably be one of the heaviest years we've ever had 'cause everything's just coming around to an end or a beginning, which is cool."
