'Garth & Trisha Live! A Holiday Concert Event': Will duo sit for a repeat? Fans say '1 hour isn't long enough'

The husband and wife duo sang from their recording studio for the one-hour remotely filmed special

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood’s CBS special in April 2020 drew close to 5.6 million views on the network along with a repeat and looks like their December 20, remote concert event called ‘Garth & Trisha Live! A Holiday Concert Event’ might break the previous record as the legendary country singers got a tremendous response for the same.

The husband and wife duo sat together on Sunday (Dec 20) in their recording studio for the one-hour remotely filmed special for the holidays. They took song requests from their fans and tried their best to cover as much as tracks possible. However, the one-hour concert event seemed very short to their fans as a lot of them took to Twitter to complain about the same. 

Speaking on similar lines, one user stated, “For 1 hour I felt like the world was gonna be okay . Why did you stop ? I love you both! #GarthandTrishaLIVE” Another felt differently and said, “Once again CBS gave Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood an hour to do absolutely nothing ... and once again, for some reason, I watched it. #GarthandTrishaLIVE”.

One user tweeted, “This could have easily gone on for another hour. Thanks for the gift! #GarthandTrishaLIVE” One added, “Thanks Ms Yearwood for the shout out I’m still in shock-fun hour-left me wanting more mission accomplished! #GarthandTrishaLIVE”. One individual posted, “@CBS next time @garthbrooks and @trishayearwood do a #GarthandTrishaLIVE can you make it at least 2 hrs long cause 1 hour isn't long enough.” Another person added, “#GarthandTrishaLIVE I think y'all should have had a two or three hour show......there is so much more!!!!” One shared, “#GarthandTrishaLIVE Loving the show. They should give you another hour to make up for having to wait!  Can you please do the song Christmas Country Style?”

CBS’ ‘Garth & Trisha Live! A Holiday Concert Event’ aired on Sunday, December 20, 2020, and got thumbs up from the audience. Though nothing has been announced officially, it won’t be wrong to assume if the network ropes the country duo again for another concert event and hopefully, for a longer duration.

Speaking about the concert event a few days ago, Jack Sussman, EVP Specials, Music & Live Events/Alternative & Reality at CBS had said, as reported by Billboard, “Our viewers loved reaching out directly to Garth and Trisha to request their favorite hits back when the pandemic first hit. It brought some fun and joy directly into their living rooms as they were hunkered down with their families,” adding “Now, nine long months later, who better to bring some holiday magic, performing some of the greatest holiday songs of all time than Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.”
