Luke Combs Thinks It's Time for a Country Super Bowl Halftime Show

Luke Combs says country music is in the zeitgeist now, and is no longer a niche genre.  And he has a point . . . its popularity is pretty undeniable.  So why not see a country artist do the Super Bowl Halftime Show?

Shania Twain was the last one to do it, and that was in 2003.  Not to mention, she shared the stage with No Doubt and Sting.

Luke says, quote, “I think the people would love it.  And that’s no pitch for me, I think it’s just a pitch for country music in general.  Whether it’s Garth [Brooks] or Morgan Wallen or whoever it is.

“Somebody deserves to be up there doing the thing . . . How many of the Top 100 streaming songs in all of music are country?  A very high percentage, I think, now.  Way more so than in history . . . I think it’s time.”

Of course, if asked, Luke would “do it right now.”

In other Luke news, he told “GQ” that he follows Dolly Parton’s example when it comes to politics.

Quote, “Basically, just being a good person and doing what you believe is right, and not getting involved in the minutiae of labeling it.  Why can’t you just be a good person and just be loved?”

Luke also has a new album out Friday called “The Way I Am”.
