Internet abuzz as Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood open Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have been together since 1987, but it wasn't until they opened the Friends in Low Place Bar & Honky-Tonk in Nashville that their relationship faced a significant challenge.

Brooks and Yearwood joined Nashville's Neon Neighborhood as they celebrated the grand opening of Country Music Hall of Famer Brooks' Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk on Thursday, March 7.

The location is named after the iconic 1990 hit song by the country music singer, per Billboard.

Garth Brooks said his friendship with his wife Trisha Yearwood serves as the foundation

During an interview with Fox News Digital following the grand launch of the Broadway bar, Brooks emphasized that he and his wife could overcome obstacles because their friendship served as the foundation.

"So, try to remember, 1987 we met," he stated. "And for 13 years we were just best buddies, friends. We would tour together. So, we told on ourselves way too much with each other because we were friends, never thinking we would end up being together."

The 'Shameless' singer continued, "So, we kinda already know all the s**t on each other. So now, when you get into these things [opening a honky-tonk], you fight like cats and dogs. And then what you find out is that one of you is going to learn a lesson."

Brooks discussed spending the coronavirus pandemic lockdown with his wife, whom he had been married to for over 20 years.

He added, "Even in COVID, when you're stuck in the house, I'm stuck with the love of my life. I'm OK. So, getting to do this with her is just another one of those things."

"I don't think God could invent anything — and please God don't put me to [the] test on this — that would make me and Miss Yearwood want to be apart from each other," Brooks further said.

In the heart of Nashville stands a four-story honky-tonk named Friends in Low Places Bar. Additionally, 'Friends in Low Places,' a docuseries documenting Trisha and Garth's journey of building the bar from the ground up, is available on Prime Video.

"A lot of love has gone into this building," Brooks told reporters about the two years that went into making Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk. He thanked the primarily local team that constructed the facility, saying, "There’s a lot of people who busted their a– to make this happen."

Internet users react to Garth Brooks' comment on putting their relationship to test

Social media users quickly turned to Facebook to humorously discuss the Country singer's remarks about testing his relationship with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, while working together.

One such user blatantly stated, "Don't worry Garth. No one else is interested," while a second one added, "I don’t think it’s a good idea to tempt GOD like this. It’s not what’s on the outside that matters. It’s what’s on the inside. And God knows our heart."

"And God would never want you to open a bar. Period," claimed a user.

Another user said, "God would never try that. I can’t stand this guy, I’ll never understand why he’s liked so much as a country singer."

"Better keep an eye on that one Trish seeing how he left his wife for you. What goes around comes around. He'll do it to you eventually," noted another one.

One more quipped, "His first wife probably thought the same thing when she was married to him, but he didn't value her at all."

Another one explained, "The problem is that many believers imagine God living somewhere beyond the stars and occupying a limited space like us when in reality God is infinite and even resides within each of us."
