Jason Aldean admits he likes this one person more than bestie Luke Bryan | Music City Minute

In the entertainment business, it can be difficult to make true friends. Yet, from time to time, twin flames are drawn to each other, igniting a lifelong bond. With that in mind, two of the most notorious besties in country music are Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan. During a recent interview where they discussed their latest duet, “Songs About Us,” as well as their upcoming coheadline tour, each revealed secrets about the other that only decadeslong friends would know. For example, apparently Jason Aldean’s “baseball bat” golf grip drives Luke nuts. However, thankfully, the son of a peanut farmer has been giving Jason grip tips. It would also seem the “Country Girl” singer cannot keep up with his friend who “Only shoots tequila” instead of drink margaritas, which Bryan claims, “Is a problem.” That said, in hilarious contrast, Aldean only had glowing comments about his friend saying Luke has no filter (which he is envious of) and his mom, Miss LeClaire, is the most awesome mom in the world. In fact, Jason admits he likes Luke’s mom more than him, to which Bryan shot back, “My mother cusses at Jason from time to time. They used to share cigarettes, but they don’t do that anymore cause Jason’s a quitter.” Is it just me, or do these boys sound more like brothers than friends?
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
