Luke Bryan shared throwback photos of some of his unforgettable duets over the years on Monday afternoon (April 7).
Bryan wrote in his Instagram caption that he’s reminiscing on those performances “in honor of the. Head to head duets tonight” on American Idol. The first photo captures the Mind Of A Country Boy hitmaker on stage with country-pop megastar Taylor Swift, who donned red shorts and a t-shirt with an image of the legendary Grand Ole Opry.
The photo captured the moment Swift teamed up with Bryan on stage during the Nashville stop of her “Red Tour” in September 2013. She surprised the cheering crowd with Bryan as a special guest, and the pair delivered a duet rendition of Bryan’s “on his I Don't Want This Night To End.” Bryan released the anthem on his 13-track album, Tailgates & Tanlines, in 2013. The record also included “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye,” “Drunk On You,” “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)” and more.
Bryan’s Instagram post on Monday also included a snapshot with fellow American Idol judges Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood — who joined the show as a judge 20 years after her career-launching victory in 2005 — Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild, and more.
