Luke Bryan shared a glimpse of a hilarious backstage moment on American Idol.
Bryan and his fellow judges — Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood, who joined the show as a judge for the first time 20 years after her career-launching win in 2005 — danced together as “This Is How We Do It” played in the venue.
“This is how us judges do it on [American Idol],” Bryan wrote in his caption on Instagram as he encouraged his followers to watch the next episode of the competition show on Monday evening (April 21). Some Instagram users commented, “Luke!! You got moves!!,” “NAILED IT!!,” and more.
Bryan took the stage with a heartfelt ballad as the judges and other artists observed Easter on American Idol on Sunday evening (April 20). He delivered a powerful rendition of “Jesus ‘Bout My Kids,” one of 14 tracks from his latest studio record, Mind Of A Country Boy. Next month, Bryan is kicking off his “Country Song Came On Tour,” titled as a nod to another one of the tracks on the album. Up-and-coming artists joining the tour on select dates include George Birge, Avery Anna, Ashland Craft, Mae Estes, Cole Goodwin, Braxton Keith, Randall King, Vincent Mason, Drake Milligan, Adrien Nunez and Owen Riegling. DJ Rock will join all shows, per a previously-issued press release. See those tour dates below.
