But if you just think you can only love a person so much, and then you get to meet ’em and spend time with them — I’ll say the same thing about James Taylor — how can you love somebody more that you already worshipped? But then it happens. This has been a really fun collaboration.
“Oh my God, Trisha,” said Brooks. “The only butt she’d kick is mine, to get in my place, so she could sing with you.

Among the top nominees, Miranda Lambert practically counts as the grizzled veteran, even though she might still feel fresh in the eyes of an experienced fan of Brooks or Parton or anyone who first made their mark in the previous century.
