Leave it to Robin Roberts to get to the bottom of things. Country star Garth Brooks sat down with the TV anchor during “Good Morning America” on Monday, and he took the opportunity to announce his upcoming world tour.

Brooks has been vague about whether or not his new music would warrant a tour, but he opted to finally make the announcement many of his fans were eager to hear.

“You know what, since it’s you and since we’ve had a history forever, let’s announce it.  We’re going on a world tour in 2014,” Brooks told Roberts. “I can’t believe I just did that but you are a doll.”

Brooks added he had to get the OK from his wife, Trisha Yearwood, before deciding to go on tour.

“It sure feels good to get to throw your hat back in the ring,” Brooks said.  “All my babies are fine with it. Ms. Yearwood is fine with it.  So now I get to do what I love to do, which is play music.  I get to be with the person I want to be with, which is Ms. Yearwood.”
