The headline of a satirical article saying that American country singer Garth Brooks was booed off the stage while performing in Texas misled social media users into believing the incident was real.
The article’s headline, “Garth Brooks Booed Off Stage At 123rd Annual Texas Country Jamboree” has been widely shared without context on Facebook (here), (here) and Twitter (here).
However, there is no record of an event called the “123rd annual Texas Country Jamboree” (bit.ly/44iEF9v), and the state of Texas has no city called “Hambriston,” the event’s location cited in the article (bit.ly/3NO4pW3).
The headline originated in an article published by the satirical website Dunning-Kruger Times (here).
The claim that American country singer Garth Brooks was booed off the stage at the 123rd Annual Texas County Jamboree stems from a satirical website.
