It turns out veteran Oklahoma country superstar Garth Brooks has friends in unlikely places.

Brooks was a surprise guest at Justin Timberlake’s sold-out concert Dec. 19 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. A 10-minute video on Time.com shows Timberlake stopping in the middle of his cover of Brooks’ super hit “Friends in Low Places” then inviting him to the stage.

“Hold on. Now something don’t feel right, something don’t feel right, Nashville. I mean, if you’re going to do this — Garth?” Timberlake said.

However, it’s unclear whether the guest appearance was planned, as Brooks was wearing ill-fitting jeans, a plaid shirt, a hoodie and a baseball cap and was almost unrecognizable. It was definitely a far cry from his famous skin-tight Wranglers, flashy western shirts and cowboy hats.

Maybe next time Timberlake will help Brooks bring sexy back to one of his concerts.

You can catch Brooks in a history-making performance on NBC’s Today show tomorrow morning when Brooks appears in all four hours of the show to promote his first album in 13 years, Man Against Machine. It’s the first time in the 62-year history of Today that a guest will appear in all segments.
