Garth Brooks Inauguration Day Performance Gives Americans Hope For Unity

Garth Brooks’ performance of “Amazing Grace” not only moved many Americans, but it also gave them hope for a more united country.

Brooks’ performance lasted two-minutes and 15-seconds, and he even asked all of America to sing along with him at one point.

Since the 58-year-old Republican decided to sing at a Democratic president's ceremony, some conservative fans were upset. He also performed at former President Barack Obama's Inauguration as well.

With these concerns, he explained his thoughts to reporters on a Zoom call after his performance.

"I might be the only Republican at this place. But it's reaching across, loving one another because that's what's going to get us through probably the most divided times that we have. I want the divided times to be behind us," he stated.

After the performance, much of social media had very positive things to say about him and the impact he might have made on the country, even some Americans in the Republican party.

Amazing grace... a cappella, by Garth Brooks, to a quiet crowd with millions at home feeling it in their hearts. Another deeply moving moment.

Garth Brooks has been one of the most vocal and generous supporters of progressive causes for his entire career, he constantly maxes out his campaign contributions and then gives bajillions to lefty shit. I’ll not have him besmirched here.

Do not underestimate what a big deal it was for @garthbrooks to do this. Knowing full well it could cost him. That it could make him the target of threats and vitriol from some in the country music audience. But he answered the call for unity and brought his very best.

"It’s not Republican or Democrat. It’s a leader for whom I am the civilian of the greatest country on the planet." He continues, "As long as you have people like the Bidens who are hellbent on making things good … That makes me feel good. Because I want to spend the next 10 years of my life not divided. I'm so tired of being divided," he stated when asked why he accepted the invitation to perform, according to Esquire.
