Country superstar Garth Brooks says he is pulling himself out of nominations for the Country Music Association's entertainer of the year award, saying it's time for someone else to win the top prize.
Brooks, who won the top prize in November, said during an online press conference Wednesday that he doesn't want to be nominated in that category in any upcoming years as well.Brooks said that following his win last year, he read criticism online that said he should step down from the category.
Leading up to last year's awards show, many people expected and hoped that Carrie Underwood would be the first woman to win entertainer of the year since 2011. But after a show that highlighted women all night, including having three female hosts, Brooks walked away with the top prize.
