DUET WITH MIKE FISHER? – GARTH BROOKS

Earlier this week, Carrie Underwood posted a video on social media of her husband, Mike Fisher, in the car singing Garth Brook's song, "The River." In the caption for the video, Underwood hinted that a duet might be coming soon, but it's unclear if she knew Brooks himself would be Mike's new duet partner. Garth recently took to Instagram to re-post the video of Fisher singing in the car and also had a proposition for the professional hockey star. Brooks said in the caption for the post, "@mfisher1212!! Bro, that is AWESOME! I HAVE to call you out after that...Nashville is the last city on the American leg of the World Tour...You and me, on stage, The River. You in? love you pal, g" Garth's mention of Nashville as the last city on the American leg of his World Tour was also the first time he's ever announced that!
