How Todd Chrisley Reacted To Meeting Garth Brooks
Country singer Garth Brooks is a beloved icon in county music, and Chrisley Knows Best star Todd Chrisley counts himself among Brooks' legion of fans. Fun fact: The country singer made it known during an August 2020 episode of Inside Studio G that he doesn't really like the term "fans," so his fans decided to call themselves the "Funs." Cute!
It's not hard to see why Brooks has so many fans, as he's known for being an amazingly giving and charitable performer and individual. In 1999, the "What's She Doing Now" singer founded the Teammates for Kids Foundation, which includes 5,000 professional athletes who generate funds for children's charities covering children's health, education, inner-city outreach, and youth athletic programs.
As for Todd, one reason he is such a big fan of Brooks is that he too is a musician. In 2016, the Chrisley Knows Best star teamed up with country superstar Sara Evans on the song "Infinite Love." The pair performed the song in the season finale of Chrisley Knows Best. So it's safe to say country music is truly in Todd's soul, which explains why he was thrilled to meet Brooks in person.
