Nicole’s Nashville News- August 18

Garth Brooks announced last month that he is removing himself from consideration for CMA Entertainer of the Year after winning the award a record-breaking seven times.  Loretta Lynn wasn’t happy about it. She said what he did was “classic, humble Garth” but he’s wrong. Loretta went on to say that in her book, he’s earned it 20 times over and she hopes the CMA will ignore his request.
