Trisha Yearwood Posts On Social Media For 1st Time Since COVID-19 Diagnosis

On February 11, married country superstars Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood released identical statements on their respective social media accounts. According to the statement, a member of their team tested positive for COVID-19.

Due to their team member’s positive test, Brooks and Yearwood said they were entering a two-week quarantine.

“Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are cancelling everything and testing and quarantining for two weeks,” the statement read.

Brooks released a followup statement on February 24, indicating that Yearwood had tested positive for the virus. His tests came back negative.

“Subsequent tests they’ve had in recent days have indicated Trisha has contracted Covid, while Garth remains negative,” read the statement.

When the statement was released, Brooks said Yearwood was “diagnosed as ‘on her way out of the tunnel’ now.” Despite everything, the statement said Yearwood was “doing ok so far.”

“She’s tough. She’s stronger than me,” Brooks said.

After days of silence, Yearwood finally returned to social media on Friday (March 5). It was her first time posting online since testing positive for COVID-19.

Yearwood responded to a video a fan shared of her appearance in Tea Leoni’s TV show, The Naked Truth, in 1998.

“OMG, I’ve been looking for this clip for years! @TeaLeoni is SO freaking cool. She’s a great actor! I’m a…chick singer…xoxo” Yearwood wrote.

Yearwood shared another post on Saturday (March 6). This time, she posted a video a fan filmed of her performing in 1993.

“I love it! I don’t remember being that sassy in ’93 but I guess I was…and that outfit…I coulda been in Pirates of the Caribbean!” she joked.
