Luke Bryan was up for the challenge. You know the one, yeah? The one where he sees how many onions he could chop in 10 minutes while answering our burning questions? Yeah, that one. Anyway, his cutting technique and answers were top-notch, but he could barely keep it together as the questions went on and he definitely shed a couple tears in the process.
The questions started off pretty straightforward, as Luke admitted he loves to cook in quarantine, has upwards of 30 pairs of cowboy boots, and always visits his bar 32 Bridges when he's in Nashville. He even gave a sneak peak about some of his upcoming projects, including some potential collaborations with country girl group Runaway June and singer Caylee Hammack (his newest album, Born Here, Live Here, Die Here, is available now). Caylee's from a town in Georgia close to where Luke grew up, so he's especially excited to work with her soon.
Luke also said that he can't wait to go on tour when he can so he can finally sing his song "One Margarita" to his fans. The response to this song has been great, but he said because of the lyrics, people keep sending him three margaritas and a shot when he usually sticks to drinking beer. "People are trying to assassinate me with liquor," he said.
The last time he cried—before chopping all these onions, of course—was recently: "I actually cried yesterday, but I can't get into that, but it was like snot bubble crying," he admitted. As for crazy tour stories from pre-quarantine times, he's fallen off three stages while on tour which led to some stitches and blunt trauma to his shins. Besides falling, apparently some other constants while he's on tour include fried chicken and hazelnut coffee creamer.
Luke ended up cutting five onions in the 10 minutes, putting him smack in the middle of "The Chopping Block" leader board. Looks like one of his hidden talents is chopping alliums. Who would've thought!
