Garth Brooks is a Hall of Famer…
Bebe Rexha makes country chart history…
Garth Brooks was named the first inductee to the Live Music Hall of Fame. He sells out tons of shows, tours for years on ends, gives his all at every performance, so he naturally earned his place in the inaugural induction of the new Hall of Fame.
He said about the award, “It’s a total shock and quite an honor. I don’t think an entertainer is anything without the people who allow him to do this.”
Bebe Rexha teamed up with Florida Georgia Line for the collaboration “Meant to Be”- she even co-wrote it with FGL’s Tyler Hubbard.
She said, “I have always respected the country genre and I knew of artists that had crossed over to the pop side, like Faith Hill, Dixie Chicks and Taylor Swift. I never thought a New York girl like me would have a country hit, but I guess it goes to show you that some things are just…meant to be.”
The collaboration is also making history- it just passed Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” as the longest-running female-featured number-one in the history of the Billboard country chart.
