Trisha Spills on Garth's Christmas Caper

Trisha Yearwood recently shared a laugh-out-loud story about her husband, Garth Brooks, and his knack for holiday humor. During an appearance on CMT, Yearwood was asked about the funniest Christmas present Brooks ever gave – and her revelation didn’t disappoint.

Yearwood fondly recalled a holiday gathering with a $20 gift limit, where Brooks pulled off an epic prank. The country music star stayed within the budget, or rather, went far under, by gifting what appeared to be a luxurious pair of Beats headphones.

A Box of Laughs

Yearwood initially teased with a "Can't say that one" when asked about Brooks' past gifts, hinting at an even more daring present in the past. But she was happy to share the memorable tale of the Beats box prank. "The funniest gift was... you know everyone does those Christmas gifts where you have to bring someone silly," Yearwood recounted, setting the stage for the prank.

"When they opened the box, it was, they were beats, but it was 2 cans of beets, and they were tied with a string," Yearwood laughed, adding that it was "the funniest gift that I've ever seen."

Keeping It Real

In a world where celebrity couples often splurge on extravagant gifts, it's refreshing to hear that Brooks and Yearwood keep it real with a $20 limit—a tradition most of us can relate to. Yearwood’s story underlines the couple’s down-to-earth nature, even if it comes at the expense of a little holiday mischief.

For those curious, a real pair of Beats headphones would have cost that partygoer over $100, making Brooks' creative twist on the gift all the more amusing.
