GARTH DITCHES TRISHA!

Garth Brooks raises eyebrows for skipping wife Trisha Yearwood's big moment at the CMT Awards

She dubbed it a "girls night" on Instagram. Trisha Yearwood arrived at the CMT Awards in Austin, Texas, on April 7 with her sister, Beth Bernard. Her husband of 18 years, Garth Brooks, "is not here with me tonight because he's probably at the bar," she said with a laugh on the red carpet, referring to his new Nashville honky-tonk, Friends in Low Places. Later, as her sister watched in tears from the audience, Trisha accepted the June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award. "June Carter Cash was a force, and she was also married to a force. I know a little bit about a life like that," Trisha said. "I know it wasn't always easy, but she found ways to keep shining her own light. And she had no bigger fan than her husband, Johnny Cash. I also know a little bit about that."
