Luke Bryan Says Singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl is 'Mental Torture'!

Luke Bryan appeared on The Tonight Show on Sunday night (October 27), and dished about the time he sang the Star Spangled Banner during the 2017 Super Bowl!

“I sign on to do the Anthem at the Super Bowl and when I got the call, you’re like, ‘Do you really want to put yourself through this mental torture?’ You either get the Anthem right or you don’t, first of all,” the 43-year-old actor recalled.

“And then you’re at the Super Bowl doing it. So I sign on to do it and then the Falcons are playing the Patriots in the Super Bowl,” Luke continued. “I did it where I went out there and performed it without pre-taping it or anything.”

Luke also talked about American Idol, on which he is currently a judge. “It’s organized chaos,” Bryan says, noting that he initially wasn’t sure of the lineup of judges. “Now, three seasons in, it’s just a fun dynamic.”

Later on the show, Luke hit the stage to perform his new single “What She Wants Tonight.”
