Dolly Parton gave Garth Brooks a little more than he bargained for as co-host of the Academy of Country Music Awards Thursday.
During their opening monologue at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, Brooks took a minute to honor Parton, the “G.O.A.T.” The acronym stands for “greatest of all time.”
On cue, Dolly rolled out on stage with a live goat in a wagon and jokingly said, “Did I hear you say you were looking for a goat? I’ve got your goat right here.”
They shared kind exchanges back and forth before Dolly mentioned hearing she’s a “hall pass” for Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood.
“I just had a thought,” Parton said. “I know why you’re doing the goat thing. I think it stands for ‘Garth organized a threesome.”
Brooks was red in the face as he responded, “And I thought I couldn’t love you anymore.”
