They chuckled as he fumbled his words, his nerves on full display. Even Simon sighed, unimpressed by the Kentucky native standing before him. But then—he sang. The first note of Bob Dylan’s Make You Feel My Love floated through the air, and in an instant, the room changed. The laughter died. Jaws dropped. A hush fell over the crowd as his voice carried raw, aching emotion, turning skeptics into believers. By the time he finished, no one was laughing—only stunned silence, followed by an eruption of applause. No one saw this coming.

Fifteen years ago, “The Dance” was already a masterpiece, but in that unforgettable performance, it became something even more—an intimate farewell, a universal embrace, a moment frozen in time. Garth Brooks didn’t just sing the song; he lived it, pouring his heart into every lyric, every note carrying the weight of years and the collective memories of those who had loved, lost, and dared to dream. The way his voice cracked with emotion, the way the crowd held their breath between lines—it was more than just music. It was a shared reckoning with the past, a tribute to the moments that shape us, the people we hold dear, and the inevitable goodbyes we must face.

“You’re drunk, go home/If you’re trying to hook up/Gotta do it alone,” they sang. “The way you’re slurring and the way you stumble/Ain’t no way you’re gonna get my number.”

“You’re Drunk, Go Home” was featured on Ballerini’s album Subject to Change, which she released in September.

At the time, she spoke to PEOPLE about the “beauty” and “messiness” in her soul searching that inspired the record.

“It’s really my post-pandemic project. Like everyone else in the world, I was forced to sit in stillness and I’m not good at that,” the singer, 29, said at the time. “I like to be in full sprint all the time, working and playing shows and making records. And that wasn’t an option. In that time I kind of woke up and I was like, ‘Oh, I’m not 19 anymore. That’s weird.’ And I have a lot of life to process and a lot of time to do it.”

She continued, “I think in that unraveling of all these beautiful, amazing experiences that I had gotten to have over the years in my career and my personal life … it really unlocked this honesty and more so than the honesty, the guts to go there in some ways. And I think that’s heard throughout the whole project.”

Following its release, Ballerini — who recently reached a settlement agreement with estranged husband Morgan Evans in their divorce — embarked on a 10-night Heartfirst tour.

On Sept. 30, Ballerini appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show and the “Breakaway” singer, 40, hilariously opened up about her state while recording the song.

“I get to the studio here with [music director] Jason [Halbert], and I get in there and I’m like, ‘Look, I didn’t know I was gonna be singing today,’” Clarkson remembered. “I didn’t know! … So I had to sing a song called ‘You’re Drunk, Go Home’ inebriated, trying to sing first soprano parts like, ‘I’m fine!’”

Clarkson also insisted it doesn’t happen often: “This has never happened to me in 20 years!” she said. “I’ve never, ever been inebriated while singing something. And [now] I am while singing ‘you’re drunk, go home.’”

Meanwhile, Pearce, 32 — who won female vocalist at last year’s award show and took home musical event of the year Wednesday — recently sold out her first headlining concert at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.

“I’m gonna say it probably all night,” she told her sold-out crowd, “but all of my country music dreams are coming true tonight.”

The 2022 CMAs are airing live Wednesday night from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
