Brooks said he kept up with what has become an annual tradition with his wife, country singer Trisha Yearwood, and after they celebrated with their entire band and crew the pair went \"somewhere really nice to eat -- Taco Bell.\"

The country superstar said \"it's been fun to be Garth\" coming off the heels of the awards into what A&E Network has dubbed \"Garth Week\" to celebrate his upcoming documentary, \"Garth Brooks: The Road I'm On,\" which looks back on his life and career.

\"To see it all kind of put within a period of time on TV it all kind of comes as fast as it did when you were living it,\" Brooks said. \"Every artist should get this wonderful treat to get to sit down and look at the things you got to be a part of and enjoy it.\"

The biography was able to capture times of his family's life when he said they were \"all just moving too fast to sit down and talk about then,\" which has made them closer than ever.

\"You can't help but sit there and cry and weep. But it's good,\" the superstar said. \"It's one of those things that once everybody sees it on our side, we're all going to get a lot tighter afterward too because you get to hear things that maybe you've been running too fast to say to each other.\"

As Brooks continues his 2019 Stadium Tour, he also released \"Legacy,\" which is a seven CD and vinyl collection of his hit albums, but the singer said records made in front of an audience is his personal favorite.

\"Live is so much fun because you get to hear them sing. You get to feel kind of how the music is affecting their life and you get to become a fabric of people's lives,\" he explained.

Coming off his record-breaking show in Knoxville, Brooks' said his favorite part of playing stadiums is \"how small they become.\"

\"I'm stunned how small Knoxville felt,\" Brooks said of the 84,000 person crowd. \"It felt like you could reach out and touch everyone. I think that's what music does and that's what people that love music do -- they get together and become this unit. That's my favorite part.\"

Whether it's in a sold out stadium or an intimate dive bar, Brooks also said that \"it all still feels like a warm blanket.\"

\"The greatest gift you can give a gypsy is a home and, man, when we roll into town and these guys show up -- you're not from there but you feel from there that night and they treat you like you're from there,\" he said. \"You feel like you're home.\"

Although Brooks also said there's another reason dive bars feel so comfortable to him, he used to be a bouncer at one.

\"I was by far the smallest one so I danced a lot,\" he said laughing. \"I got to dance with all the girls and hopefully didn't have to work much in the evenings.\"

But, whether you're a country music fan, bouncer or artist, Brooks said, \"it's so much fun being in country music.\"

\"Ninety nine percent of them are there just to have a good time -- it's great,\" he said.
