During a recent press conference to announce his upcoming stadium tour, Garth Brooks revealed that he will not be performing at the CMA Awards next month.

The reason? Because they won’t let him perform a new song he wrote for his wife, Trisha Yearwood. 

“What I offered to the CMAs was, ‘Let me sing this to her that night. She hasn’t heard it and she won’t hear it until that moment, nobody will… They kinda came back and said, ‘Hey look, something new that’s a ballad probably doesn’t work for us.’ So, cool. I’ll find some other way for her to hear it. So, right now, we’re just coming to attend.”
