Garth Brooks has nothing but good things to say about fellow country singer Jelly Roll. Earlier this month, Jelly Roll met Brooks, his longtime hero, at the ACM Awards in Frisco, Texas, and video of their heartwarming meeting went viral.
Jelly Roll met Brooks backstage and excitedly picked him up and lifted him into the air by way of introduction.«I got to see Garth Brooks at the ACM Awards and I was so excited I picked him up,» Jelly Roll told ET earlier this week at the finale. «I didn't mean to and I didn't know it until the clip went viral.»After that meeting, ET's Cassie DiLaura talked to Brooks in Las Vegas — where he's currently performing his Garth Brooks/Plus ONE residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace — and asked about the memorable moment between him and Jelly Roll. «He was very sweet,» Brooks said. «I don't know much about his music yet, simply because the generations are different.
