Luke Combs: Yea, so I’m sitting on the bus making a toaster scrambler, actually everybody thought it was a toaster strudel, it was actually a toaster scrambler there is a difference- look it up. And, I get this call from Carrie Underwood of all people. I don’t know if that was maybe the first time that we have ever interacted in any way shape or form, so it was quite flabbergasting to say the least… and I wasn’t exactly dressed for the occasion. Obviously we’re on the phone but I felt like you kinda like have to be a little dressed up if you’re on the phone with Carrie Underwood, she’s very classy. And Yea, so I was like absolutely stunned she told me I won an ACM award for best new male artist and I was like well this is a neat start to the day not only do I get a delicious toaster scrambler but I’ve got an ACM award. That’s awesome.
