Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood on Leno 1997

Trisha’s vocals were absolutely on fire this night

[@theresak4343]

Some people truly belong together, despite circumstances; act on it, don't act on it; none of us can help the way we feel, we can only help what we do about anything.

We learned about gratitude and humility - that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean... and we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.And I want to specially appreciate you for being a big fan.

The audience that night got to see something magical, even if they didn't know it at the time. Not only did they get "In anothers eyes", but a unplugged duet of "Walkaway Joe" with two of the greatest artists of their time.

[@jenniferdymond4447]

He’s been in love with her for so long, the eyes and glances through out the whole show. I think he fell for her a lot longer ago than he thinks, I’m so happy for them, he seems much happier x

this is the moment the world knew..there is no denying that chemistry

[@2byoung]

Absolutely, I’m surprised it wasn’t the headline on Entertainment Tonight or something. Garth wasn’t doing a very good job hiding his feelings. He grabs her hand when they’re singing and pats it several times on the couch. He even had the schoolboy fidgets with his feet and blushed when he looked at her. They are the most adorable couple now. It’s wonderful to know that true love can occur. I love watching them together on Inside Studio G.

[@tiffanymorgan6562]

This version of #WalkawayJoe with these two is by far my favorite version, this version is even better than her original version with Don Henley

[@Sassyglbeauty]

Man, it seemed like Garth was purposely trying not to look at Trisha. I think maybe they were afraid the world would see what they obviously weren’t ready for us to know. But, I think we all knew. I think no one was surprised when they married. Man, “Walk Away Joe” was so very intimate feeling. Idk. It makes me so happy that these two are now together.

[@jayneholmes6355]

I always tell this story. My first time seeing them both in concert my sister was with me. I turned to my sister and said "Garth is in love with Trisha". She looked at me like I was crazy. When I heard the story years later the night they first met singing demos and after Trisha left and the guy that set the session up turned to Garth and asked him what he thought. Garth said I feel like I just met my wife. He knew that night and I knew that night we seen them in concert,

[@Shadows921]

These 2 met and fell for each other immediately in 1987 despite both having gotten married to other people the year before in 1986. Garth didn't have any children with wife Sandy until 6 years later. Trisha had no kids but 2 husbands before she'd marry Garth in 2005. Hindsight is 20/20 but they should've just gotten together way back then before there was any baggage and their careers took off!! Makes perfect sense to me. I guess they were worried it would affect their up and coming careers? I suppose that's more important than personal happiness, IDK. I'm just happy they're together.💗💗😊

The guy that set up the demo session that night for Garth and Trisha in 1987 asked Garth what he thought of Trisha after she left. Garth said that he just got the feeling he had met his wife. I seen them both in Spokane, WA in 1998 and I knew even then that they belonged together.

I remember seeing this and was like uh oh...its "the look!" I told my friend that his wife better look out cause something was absolutely going on.

[@nanlev613]

I don’t think anything was going on at that point but they definitely had undeniable chemistry. I’m a singer and when I sing with other people I’ve noticed that it’s a very intimate thing to do.

[@TracieClaiborne]

nanlev613 I was going to say the same thing! I am also a singer and you can tell by watching this performance that they both know how incredible it sounds. Garth is a super fan of Trisha’s voice, deservedly so, and they sounded so great on that last song...it was magical. They are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. My husband played with them and they were genuinely friendly and caring.

[@nanlev613]

I’m not surprised, they both really seem like very down to earth people. There’s another video of them on a different talk show (I’m not familiar with the host so I’m thinking it may be a non syndicated show) where they sing She’s Got A Heart Like A Sad Song and Garth said the song “haunted” him since he heard it. Well from the moment she starts singing you can see what it does to him; between the music, the lyrics, and of course her voice...the whole experience takes him to a place I’m sure nobody expected. Singing with someone else can be a very intimate experience; and I don’t just mean romantic intimacy sharing a song with anyone can be a very intimate experience. Under the right circumstances singing together with another person or people establishes connections. So when people say oh you can tell they were cheating NO!!! They were sharing a song. A couple times during that video you can see Garth’s heart if you will, he looks at her kind of longingly and if the circumstances were different I can imagine her gently touching his face. When they finish the song and the audience applauds poor Garth doesn’t know what do with himself, you can see he’s a bit uncomfortable by his body language. And poor Trisha!! She saw what the song was doing to him but they already started- what was she going to do stop in the middle she couldn’t so she just held it together. Sorry for the length and thanks so much for the response.

I keep reading "this is true love", well only if your definition of true love is cheating on your wife/husband, abandoning your wife and children, breaking your marriage vows to love, honor, cherish and keep thee only unto them (ie don't commit adultry). The grass is always greener on the other side but true love remains faithful, patient, long-suffering, and keeps their family intact, not broken, shattered, irreparably irreversible destroyed.
