Claims that country singer Garth Brooks cancelled the opening of his new bar in Nashville, Tennessee, originated as satire, though some social media posts are missing that context.
Posts online (here) shared an article by satirical website The Dunning-Kruger Times with the headline, “Garth Brooks Cancels His Bar’s Grand Opening After Investors Bail Out: ‘The Brand is an Embarrasment Now’” (tinyurl.com/3akkms5t).
While Brooks has faced criticism since then, there is no evidence that he cancelled the opening of his new bar (tinyurl.com/38ye9uyp).
The Dunning-Kruger Times describes itself as a “subsidiary of the ‘America’s Last Line of Defense’ network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery” (dunning-kruger-times.com/29-2/).
