The 58th Academy of Country Music Awards show in 2023 might have called out Garth Brooks long before his sexual abuse allegations case dropped. When it was Dolly Parton’s turn at the mic, the country legend took things to the next level, joking about having a threesome with Garth Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood.

The evening started out innocently enough.
According to Page Six, Garth was on stage to introduce Dolly. He called her the “GOAT” — which stands for “greatest of all time” — before welcoming her out.
Dolly was prepared for the intro and made a grand entrance with a special guest: a live goat! “I’ve got your GOAT right here,” she joked before taking a moment to celebrate her cohost’s amazing career.
Garth has done a lot for country music.
Dolly gushed over Garth, crediting him with changing “the name of country music forever.”
“In a flash, he became one of the biggest stars of all time,” she said.
Without missing a beat, Garth shot back and told Dolly that the entire “world … will always love you” in a nod to one of the singer’s biggest hits.
Things quickly went off the rails.
Dolly took a moment to expand on why her cohost was calling her the GOAT, joking about a possible secondary meaning for the acronym. “I think it stands for ‘Garth organized a threesome!'”
Dolly then joked about how she wasn’t exactly opposed to the idea, and neither was her husband.
Dolly's husband had already given her permission.
Dolly has been married to Carl Thompson Dean since 1966, and apparently the pair have already discussed Dolly’s country crush. She told Garth that she’d already secured a “hall pass” for him and his wife of 19 years.

Was Dolly privy to some information on Garth and Trisha's sexual habits before the public was?
It’s probably safe to say that Dolly is the biggest female name in country with Garth being the biggest male name, so it makes sense that they would be friends.
The pair both have long and successful careers in the genre, meaning they most likely have some inside information on each other. Was Dolly aware of Garth and Trisha’s sexual habits well before the allegations about Garth dropped?
