Luke Bryan is always up to something! During a recent interview with fellow American Idol judges, Lionel Richie and Katy Perry on Live With Kelly And Ryan, the country star brought some laughter to the table with the help of a little shark finger puppet.
On Tuesday (February 9), the country star turned to Instagram to share a hilarious clip that showed him holding the miniature shark up in front of the camera making it appear larger than his head as the "Jaws" theme song played in the background. With an exaggerated fearful expression on his face, Bryan nervously said, "Oh my gosh" before he burst out laughing.
"Having fun with @livekellyandryan during @americanidol interviews," he captioned the video, adding, "For some reason @lionelrichie and @katyperry didn’t think it was as funny as I did."
The hilarious clip can be seen below! The upcoming season of American Idol marks Bryan's fourth season as a judge alongside Richie and Perry. Fans can tune in to watch the season 19 premiere on Sunday, February 14.
Last week, Bryan announced his plans to release a deluxe version of his 2020 seventh studio album, Born Here Live Here Die Here. The new project, due out on April 9, will feature a total of six new songs.
"It's so amazing of how much music we're able to put out as artists now because there's so many different avenues and ways that fans are streaming music, downloading music, buying music," Bryan told People in a new interview.
"When I came out with the original album of Born Here Live Here Die Here, we had already had three No. 1s off the album before we even released it. Now, we can go on and build and add new songs to the album. I look at a song like 'Waves' — which is something that I really think has the potential to be a big, big summer hit — but I've got songs that are really country songs. For fans who think the album isn't as country as they wanted, these songs tell an outdoor country story and really say who I am and where I'm at as an artist right now."
Born Here Live Here Die Here, released in August of 2020, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. "Down To One is Bryan's current single from the album and fourth overall following three chart-toppers: "Knockin' Boots," "What She Wants Tonight" and "One Margarita."
The deluxe edition of Born Here Live Here Die Here is due out on April 9 and is available to pre-order and pre-save now. A complete tracklisting can be seen below.
