Garth Brooks Gifts Luke Combs $90K Ford Bronco Raptor

Country star Luke Combs shared a surprising story about receiving a $90,000 Ford Bronco Raptor as an unexpected gift from country legend Garth Brooks. The surprise occurred last Christmas when Combs saw his manager pull up in the same model and color of Bronco, only to learn the vehicle was actually a gift from Brooks, who wanted to thank Combs for his tribute performance of "The Beaches of Cheyenne" at the 2022 Nashville Songwriters Awards Ceremony honoring Brooks with the Kris Kristofferson Lifetime Achievement Award. Despite not being close at the time, Brooks had arranged the gift after contacting Combs' manager about his interests, and the car took about a year to arrive. Combs expressed his astonishment and confusion over the lavish gift, emphasizing the generosity of Brooks and the meaningfulness of the tribute. Brooks had publicly praised Combs’ performance, stating it made him feel like a songwriter for the first time. This story highlights the mutual respect and admiration between the two artists, bridging generations in country music.
