Dolly Parton joked about being Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood’s “hall pass” and the possibility of having a threesome with them during the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards.
Dolly Parton, the iconic country music star, left the audience in splits as she joked about having a threesome with Garth Brooks and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, at the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards. Brooks had referred to Parton as the “G.O.A.T” (“greatest of all time”), following which she brought a real goat on stage. Parton went on to admire Brooks’ talents and even teased him about having organized a threesome between the three of them.
Parton termed herself as a “hall pass” for Brooks and Yearwood, which is a celebrity term used for a person whom one’s spouse is free to sleep with if they ever get the chance. However, despite her passing comment, Parton has been happily married to Carl Thomas Dean since 1996. Brooks and Yearwood have been married since 2005.
The event marked Parton’s third time hosting the ACM Awards, having first hosted it solo in 2000 and then alongside Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett in 2022. While Yearwood sang on stage at the event, she also performed a duet with Carly Pearce.
The joke garnered much attention from the media, with fans taking to social media to praise Parton for her wit and humor, showcasing her timeless appeal even today. While the comment was certainly risqué and NSFW, it added to the entertainment of the event and gave the audience the perfect blend of laughter and music.
