Luke Bryan Meets Tim McGraw

 Luke Bryan has been on the road all year as part of Tim McGraw’s Emotional Traffic tour.  Luke told Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton that he’s learned a lot watching the country superstar: “I’ve just been amazed at night-in and night-out, he does a 2-1/2 hour show, like Bruce Springsteen, even through a foot injury where he broke his foot.”  Lon asked, how’d he break his foot?  “I think he was running a lot before shows and aggrivated it.  He told some folks I saw a spider and freaked out like a girl and jumped on his foot.  My rebuttal was I asked to borrow a dollar, and when I returned his wallet, it fell and broke his foot.  But everyone knows neither of them are trur.  But he’s passionate about his music more than ever, and his fans are stronger than ever, and if I work hard like him, I could have a career like him.”

WEB EXTRA: “What’s always fun about meeting someone you revere and someone you call a hero is when they live up what you wanted them to be. He’s been nice to me.  Before the tour started we had a dinner, and he offered me a chance to fly back to Nashville with him on his private plane.  I’ve been on the plane with him several times, and it’s got me back so I can spend more time with my boys.   He told me, ‘I know you’ve got kids and you want to go back home to them.’  He’s been so good to me.  I go out during his show every night and join him for ‘Back When.’  That’s always a highlight of the show.  Just this past weekend, he looked at me and said, ‘We just got a few shows left,’ and I got pretty emotional because I really enjoyed this summer.”
