Trisha Yearwood has won three CMA Awards and been nominated at the annual awards show a total of 20 times. The country music icon, who also has two ACM Awards and three Grammys trophies to her name, says she has two favorite CMA Awards memories: one involving a trophy and one involving her husband, Garth Brooks.
“One was winning the Female Vocalist of the Year the first time, because I had been the Susan Lucci at the CMAs: I had been nominated, like, five years in a row and never won, so it was really great,” Yearwood quipped to The Boot and other reporters at a recent media event. “I’m really glad it went that way because when I won, I was older, and it was just really cool.
“And then, last year, the 50th anniversary of the CMAs, getting a chance to perform with Garth and do all those classic duets, and then also see him win Entertainer [of the Year],” Yearwood adds, “that was pretty sweet.”
Yearwood, who is also the proud winner of a Daytime Emmy for her cooking show, Trisha’s Southern Kitchen, has been traveling with her husband on his three-year World Tour, which will wrap up in Nashville in mid-December. But not to worry: Yearwood has plenty of plans to keep her busy in 2018.
“Once I take that nap in January, I am going to start on two new music projects,” Yearwood reveals. “I can’t tell you about one of them — it’s a surprise — but I’m listening to songs now … And I film my cooking show when we’re not on the road, so there’s a lot going on right now … I want to be able to calm my mind down a little bit. I feel music tapping me on the shoulder. It’s time to get back in and get some music made.”
A list of Yearwood and Brooks’ remaining tour dates is available on Yearwood’s website. The 2017 CMA Awards are scheduled to air on ABC on Nov. 8, at 8PM ET; the ceremony will take place live at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will host the ceremony for the 10th year in a row.
