Lady Gaga attended one of the shows in Chicago, and Justin Timberlake sat in the front row at one of Garth’s concerts in St. Louis last week. Both stars completely freaked out as Garth performed his hits.
Garth tells ABC News Radio, “Lady Gaga. I didn’t think I was gonna keep her off the stage. She was so fired up. Her security was getting mad at her because she kept running, screaming, yelling. She was having a great time.”
As for Justin, Garth says he knew every word to every song in the set.
“He filmed the whole thing,” Garth says. “He was asking people to film him.”
Even though Justin and Gaga regularly sell out arenas on their own, they didn’t distract the other fans in the audience from enjoying the show.
Says Garth, “You could not ask for either one of those to be a better fan in the seat than they were. They paid great respect to me as an artist, but blended in with the rest of the fans, which is a big statement for them because they are extraordinary people. They love music. You can tell.”
Justin has paid Garth with an even bigger compliment by including a cover of “Friends in Low Places” in his recent live shows. Keep up with Garth’s tour dates at GarthBrooks.com.
