It’s become a tradition for any actor, artist, or renowned figure who views the Declaration of Independence exhibit at the National Archives to sign a copy of the historic document…and Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood were given that opportunity, too! The National Archives Foundation was only too happy to have the biggest-selling musical artist in history put his own “John Hancock” on a copy of the Declaration. And he was happy to do so when asked!

While in Washington, DC for events with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the National Archives Foundation, Garth and Trisha were given a special opportunity to personally view this treasured document, kept safe for past and future generations inside the National Archives facilities.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) presented Garth Brooks with the first-ever Artist of a Lifetime Award at the RIAA Honors event in Washington, D.C. this week, recognizing him as the #1-selling album artist in history, with more than 200 million certified album sales.  

As the 61^st Annual Academy of Country Music Awards show draws closer on May 17, we’re looking back to the 26^th Annual ACM Awards show in 1991.  It was a watershed event in Garth’s career.  He walked away with six trophies for Entertainer of the Year, Top Male Vocalist, Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Song of the Year, and Top Country Video, riding a wave of success from No Fences that laid the foundation for Ropin’ the Wind.
