Florida Georgia Line has had the opportunity to collaborate with rapper Nelly on their song “Cruise” and pop star Jason Derulo on “This Is How We Roll,” and they say if they were going to put together a wish list of people they would like to collaborate with, Garth Brooks would definitely be on the list. Brian Kelley says that would be a dream collaboration. “Garth Brooks would be a dream come true for sure. We’ve been fans of him since we were young and he’s definitely had a big influence on us that would just be an incredible experience for sure.”
If they’re looking at people outside of the country format to collaborate with, Tyler Hubbard says, “I’ve always thought it would be cool to collaborate with Lil Wayne and we’ve always thought it would be cool to collaborate with Wiz Khalifa. Honestly just anybody that we feel like fits the part and somebody that we would want to work with.”
The guys have said they don’t have any major collaborations on their upcoming album, Anything Goes, which features their current single “Dirt” and will be released on October 14th. But then again, they’ve been Instagramming pictures of themselves in the recording studio lately, so you never know what they could come up with.

Tyler Hubbard – “Absolutely. Outside of the country world I’ve always thought it would be cool to collaborate with Lil Wayne and we’ve always thought it would be cool to collaborate with Wiz Khalifa.
