Luke Combs‘ recent concert featured beer-guzzling cameos by the stars Hollywood’s latest blockbuster.
During his Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old tour stop at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on Friday (July 19), the country singer was joined onstage by Twisters cast members Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos.
In fan-captured footage posted on social media, the actors are seen carrying beer cans as they walk onto the stage in front of thousands. After reaching Combs, they shotgun the suds alongside the “Cold Beer Calling My Name” singer and then toss the empty containers into the cheering crowd. Edgar-Jones seemed to have trouble finishing the beverage, but handed it off to Powell, who quickly drank it down.
“So this happened,” Edgar-Jones captioned a video of the incident on her Instagram Story, tagging Combs and her Twisters co-stars. Ramos reposted the clip, adding the line, “The most legendary moment.”
Combs also joined in on the fun, sharing a video of the beer chugging on his X (formerly Twitter) account. “Hey Twisters cast, what you say we shotgun one?!” he captioned the post.
The epic moment was in celebration of the theatrical release of Universal Pictures’ Twisters, which is the sequel to classic 1996 film Twister. The new summer flick is already off to a huge start at the box office, with forecasters predicting a domestic opening of of $74.6 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Twisters cameos at Combs’ N.J. was fitting being that the county star’s original song “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” is featured on the movie’s soundtrack. The muscular track is already No. 10 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart after only nine weeks. Other country music heavyweights featured on the collection include Miranda Lambert, Kane Brown, Lainey Wilson, Shania Twain and Jelly Roll.
Combs’ manager says the singer was enthusiastic about taking part in the soundtrack.
“We wanted to do this because it wasn’t a remake of a classic, but a continuation of the narrative of the film, and we felt the movie was going to be an epic moment to be a part of,” Chris Kappy tells Billboard. “The team at Atlantic and Universal were very professional and fun to work with, and gave Luke full creative control on the song and trusted him — so that makes it easier to let the artist create.”
