Garth and Dolly In Memoriam | ACM Awards 2023

[@Scott__C]

Pretty sure the director was saying, "Dolly's winging it. We'll stay with her however long she wants to go". Love that she was moved to honor those we've lost with her wonderful voice.

[@kittyblak393]

And Dolly just made another precious memory 🥰🙏 RIP Loretta and Naomi, no more suffering no more pain 🌹🌹.

[@kentuckygirl1971]

One thing is for sure when Dolly is moved and goes off script no one is going to stop her. I just ❤ her.

[@Kidd23Kidds]

Yes!!! Nobody says a thing. They’re going through commercials trying to figure out which ones to cancel since Dolly took about 30 seconds or so of “airtime.” It’s sad that so much of it is to play as many commercials as possible and not give artists 100 percent of what they’ve earned in these awards. Seems they’re better at not playing that music when it’s time to shut up. I. HATED that.

[@joannaaguilar4961]

Thank God for the precious memories of noami and Loretta Lynn we miss and love them both amen

[@peaceloveandunderstanding]

Rest in peace with the angels, Loretta and Naomi. I'm running out of superlatives for Dolly. What a magnificent human being she is.

[@light_and_sound]

Dolly, you can do that anytime. What a precious treat for us to hear you sing that cherished hymn in memoriam of your departed friends. Garth looked so blown away too! ❤ U Dolly!

[@sherricooley2572]

He wasn’t the only one, the audience was all stunned and shocked. What a beautiful moment.

[@kathyx5780]

The look on Randy Travis’s face as Dolly sang is priceless. I would almost describe it as pure happiness.

[@karenbass3507]

Our East Tennessee girl can & will do what needs doing. That she spontaneously sang this precious hymn in memory of those who passed away is so touching.

[@robinmarie8213]

I'm so thankful we still have Dolly. 💗

[@jengable4888]

Yes !!

[@royhoskins8499]

Garth was shocked by her sudden performance of the song. The look on his face was pure shock !! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Pixiedust848]

I’m sorry, but that was not Garth Brooks

[@PixieyDust]

This really feels so authentic and full of love. Very fitting for mothers day. For all of us who lost our moms. Hugs to you all.

[@elizabethg80s]

Dolly always brings it what a beautiful tribute

[@joymcdonald8240]

Dolly how beautiful that was. You are a true treasure

[@coachbillturpin]

That was so magical. Spirtual. I miss these kind of heartfelt moments.

[@rickypilcher3618]

There's absolutely NO ONE better than Dolly!

[@PositiveZ7]

How does she still sounds so good?!?!? Love her

[@JohnG500]

True gift from God.

[@MTknitter22]

All Dolly did was bring back some of the spirit that used to characterize these Country Music Award shows - in abundance - every year. It was that way because the industry’s top stars were pretty much all men and women of faith and were never ashamed to show love of God and country. Bless you Dolly. Loretta gone on Home and when Dolly leaves us, that will close the door to the true golden years of real American Country Music.

[@lolitadoss8079]

I love Dolly, Loretta, Garth and Naomi. I'm a Nashvillian. I first met Dolly at her summer home. She supported our band and we got to play at a brunch she threw. Such a great memory. Thank you, Dolly, such a beautiful soul. ❤

[@porchswingdesignsmarilou7323]

One of my favorite hymns and Dolly sang it beautifully.

[@coachbillturpin]

What I loved about this was the sincerity in the moment. Everyone was sincere: Dolly, Garth, the crowd. Dolly is a QUEEN!!! She really rocked this show. What is there not to love about her?

[@joylong8897]

I was very disappointed in the In Memoriam this year! I love Dolly singing don’t get me wrong! I felt Naomi and especially Loretta deserved more than two minutes!

1:44 implant galore

[@RamblinManMoto]

Loved Dolly. I've seen Garth in concert 17 times (all but one before his hiatus) and love his past music. But man he seems so fake these days.

[@starful9493]

The only best part of this show was Dolly ..

[@MotorcycleSalesVideo]

Garth removes hat. No hats in Church.

[@returntothyfirstlove5146]

Just another video representation of SO MUCH that has gone wrong and is wrong with our once beautiful nation

[@peggygibbons479]

Only available on Peacock TV. What a bunch of CRAP!!

[@SammyJohnson-jp8vp]

Weirddddddd 💯

[@rachelroberts633]

Isn't Garth Brooks a serial killer?

[@Irishgirl7]

Is Gareth brooks being serious there wiping away tears…a bit fake to be honest.

[@seycas118]

Don’t know who dresses Dolly, but they should be fired for this monstrosity that Dolly is wearing 😮
