Trisha Yearwood talks 'moving,' new tour

Don't call the moving trucks just yet.

Trisha Yearwood said last week's reports that she and Garth Brooks were moving to Nashville that surfaced after a CMT interview were a bit misleading.

"We're going to be in Nashville more than Oklahoma," Yearwood told The Tennessean today. "But now everybody I run into in the grocery store in Oklahoma they're l like, 'I wanna make sure we see you before you leave.' And I'm like, 'That's not exactly what's happening.'"

Yearwood said she feels like she and her fellow country star husband currently live in both Oklahoma and Nashville, but they spend more time in Oklahoma. They are focused on seeing Brooks' youngest daughter, Allie Colleen, graduate high school this spring before they turn their attention to other areas. When that happens, Yearwood said they will still live in both places but the scales may tip and Nashville would be more of a home base.

But she knows they won't be in either place very much. Given Brooks' plans to tour, she said for the next couple of years they would likely be in other places well more than in either of the towns they now consider home.

Before that happens, the country music singer and celebrity chef has a few things she plans to get done.

Currently Yearwood is performing in her own tour, working on a third cookbook, finishing new music and planning the next season of her Food Network show, "Trisha's Southern Kitchen." She plans to film those episodes this summer.

She's already talked to the Food Network about what her planned tour with Brooks (dates have not yet been announced) might mean for her television show. Because she won't be stationary anymore, they won't be able to set up in the same kitchen every day to shoot a uniform-looking series.

"The Food Network has been wonderful," she said. "I'm like, 'I want to keep doing it because I'm loving it, but my life is getting ready to change. If you can figure out a way to change with me, then we can figure out what this is going to be.' They're totally open to suggestions. I'm not sure what it's going to be yet, but I think it's doable."

Yearwood hopes this tour will follow the same pattern as Brooks' previous tours, which will allow them to be in the same town for several days. If that happens, she said, it will give her the opportunity to do other things while she's in that city — like film a food show.

"There's a million suggestions right now," she said. "I feel like it will have to be some form of 'Trisha's Traveling Kitchen.'"

She's also given herself a deadline of the end of the year to finish her album because she said she wants to have new music to play while she and Brooks are on the road.

"I've got a lot on my plate, but I can get it all done," she said. "I go to bed at night and I don't go to sleep. I'm like, 'I need to get up and I need to write down, I need to do this and I need to do that.' There's a lot up in the air at the moment, but it's getting done. It's busy but it's good busy."
