Garth Brooks Puts on a Sweet, Sweet Concert at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater

“Sweet.” That was the word of the night as Garth Brooks entertained a capacity crowd at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater during his celebratory concert that marked seven of his albums reaching diamond status (10 million sales).

As guests Reba McEntire, Jason Aldean, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Young, Steve Wariner and Trisha Yearwood joined Garth onstage for performances, Garth was quick to thank them for being such a “sweet man” or “sweet woman.” Garth played some sweet songs and had a lot of sweet moments, and we’ve included a sweet photo gallery and sweet concert set list to catch you up to speed. In the end, it was a sweet night that marked a sweet accomplishment.

Sweet!
