Thursday, Plano-based Frito-Lay announced a new partnership with country music legend Garth Brooks.
Garth’s new single, “Baby, Let’s Lay Down and Dance,” is free to download after purchasing a specially-marked (with Garth’s image on the front) bag of Fritos.
Brooks made the announcement with Frito-Lays team members at AT&T Stadium.
During a press conference with the media, he said there are no immediate plans for a concert in Dallas.
Regarding his current tour, he said one of his final nights on stage in Dallas was “one of the most fun nights he’s ever had.”
He also credited his success to forming relationships, including this new relationship with Frito-Lay, which allows him to distribute his music at no cost to listeners.
