Dolly Parton reveals what 'impressed' her about Garth Brooks
Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks will co-host the 2023 ACM Awards.
Garth Brooks admitted he once accidentally showered with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.

"I showered with him," Brooks told Clarkson while the two were discussing Aerosmith.
The country music star and Tyler both performed at a Billy Joel concert in July 2008.

"We were playing the ‘Last Play at Shea’ (with) Billy Joel. They're getting ready to tear down Shea Stadium in New York, and I go out there, and I'm late anyway, and they just have the baseball showers," he recalled.
"I'm in there showering, getting ready for the show, and I had soap in my eyes, I look around, and there's Steven Tyler. He's showering, too. 'Hey, how ya doin'?' And so it was just… How many people get to say that?"

The "Friends in Low Places" singer also suggested Dolly Parton is the GOAT of country music.
"Every single you know from Dolly — every single — she wrote," Brooks said. "That's impossible, first of all, and the fact that they're fabulous songs."
"And some of those are classics that will stand the test of time," Clarkson noted.
Brooks said Parton's "Jolene" might be the "greatest country song," adding the singer-songwriter is "unbelievable."

Brooks hosted the ACM Awards with Parton on May 11. The ceremony marked the first time the pair ever worked together.
"I just couldn't believe it because I'm such a fan," Brooks said of the opportunity. "And the thing is we always talk about the GOAT, and the GOAT is always a guy. I'm not sure that the GOAT of country music isn't a female."
