Tears, cheers — and a few jeers. The country star’s emotional moment at his wife’s Hollywood honor sparked mixed reactions, including one calling it “fake.”
Garth Brooks, 63, stepped into the spotlight for something other than music, joining Trisha Yearwood as she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 24. However, the ceremony’s most talked-about moment centered on how Brooks reacted to it.

Seated among attendees, Brooks wore a dark blazer, button-down shirt, and his signature straw cowboy hat. He appeared deeply moved throughout the ceremony — clapping proudly, then quietly wiping his eye as his 60-year-old wife received the honor.
The star recognized Yearwood’s decades of work as a singer, television personality, and philanthropist, marking a deeply personal moment for both.
