As Underwood sang, Bryan danced off to the side and removed his hat for a portion of the performance before turning it backward. From there, the “American Idol” judges sang the iconic chorus to the 1986 song.
In addition to Underwood, Bryan’s concert featured Chris Stapleton, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, and Kane Brown. Avery Anna opened the show, and DJ Rock also performed.
Luke Bryan Recently Discussed His New Album, ‘Signs’
GettyBryan released his latest album, “Signs,” on September 16. The album followed singles such as “Fish Golf Hunt Drink” and “Made it a Memory.” Ahead of its release, the “American Idol” judge gave an interview to Billboard, saying his new music had a “throwback” quality.
“My fans have naturally kind of made me the guy that they go to to have fun,” he began. “A big thing you always hear from fans, too, is they want to hear songs of mine that throw back to where I was right when I came out, and I feel like there’s several songs on this album that could be considered throwbacks.”
Still, Bryan stated that “Signs” didn’t only consist of throwbacks. According to him, “But there are also songs that reflect a more modern side, such as the title track, that gravitate towards pop-country.”
In discussing recording the album, Bryan said he was “really, really blessed.” The singer explained, “By the time I make an album, I’ve had a lot of songs land in my lap [from outside songwriters]… But you know, the main thing with me is to just truly enjoy the process and try to make a well-rounded album, and I certainly feel like this is [one].”
As for what Bryan believed would be a fan-favorite song from “Signs,” he named “Woods.” According to him, “This is one of those songs that I feel like my fans, when they hear me perform this, they’ll be like, ‘Oh yeah, that sounds like the Luke Bryan that we know.'”
He added about the song, “It just describes how important the relationship [between] the woods and a kid from the country is.”
