Gotcha: Luke Bryan and Brad Paisley left Carrie Underwood in hysterics on American Idol | Music City Minute
Country music artists have a lot of pride in their work. Viral songs, award winning albums, and touring the world are a reflection of their dedication and spirit, after all. However, there’s another form of art that seems to get just as much focus and practice within the music community: pranking. A couple of the best jokesters in the biz, Brad Paisley and Luke Bryan, pulled a hilarious prank over on Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie during filming for American Idol.
The gruesome-twosome recruited a fake auditioner, Dylan Holmes, to really sell the believability of the scenario; starting with Luke Bryan returning to the judge's desk with a hidden earpiece. Backstage, Brad Paisley secretly fed Bryan lines via the earpiece during Holmes' fake audition; leaving Bryan's co-judges believing his cheese had slipped completely off his cracker. To call the execution flawless, would be an understatement. After the ruse was revealed, a clearly shocked Carrie Underwood admitted she was clueless of the lark and never questioned Luke Bryan's shenanigans as anything other than authentic.
