Garth Brooks made a lot of money in 2017…
Garth is thinking stadiums…
Garth Brooks is the country artist who made the most money this year. He brought in $60 million to tie him with Elton John for 11th place on Forbes’s list of the Highest Paid Musicians of 2017.
Taylor Swift brought in $44 million and lands at number-17, Kenny Chesney, who took in $42 million, is number-18, and Luke Bryan’s $42 million puts him in a three-way tie with Celine Dion and Jay-Z for 19th place.
Diddy tops the list with a $130 million for the year.
And back to Garth- after he wrapped up his three-year tour this past weekend, he and Trisha Yearwood will get back to their normal lives — but not for long.
He says, “What our future is as touring? I don’t know. I can tell you this, what does allow you to do everything is move to bigger places to play. Maybe it’s time to look at, can you make a stadium show personal? So that’s the next thing.”
In addition to possibly playing some stadiums, both Garth and Trisha want to work on new music.
