Luke Bryan Forgets Lyrics During Live Performance But Recovers Quickly

Nashville, TN – Country music star Luke Bryan experienced an amusing memory lapse during a recent performance of his hit song “Strip It Down.” While playing piano on stage, Bryan abruptly stopped singing and admitted to the audience, “I totally forgot all the words.” This incident occurred during his concert on June 17, 2025, and was captured on video by a fan.

After his brief pause, Bryan quickly regained his composure, raising his pointer finger in the air and announcing, “I got it,” before smoothly transitioning back into the song. The crowd responded with laughter and cheers, showing their support for the singer’s candid moment.

Fans on social media enjoyed the slip-up, with one commenter on TikTok writing, “When he said ‘I got it’ he had to go fast before he forgot again.” Another user remarked, “I was there, it was so funny,” highlighting the lighthearted atmosphere of the concert.

Over the years, concertgoers have reported similar incidents, and some joked that he had previously asked fans to Google the lyrics for him during another show. Bryan, known for his humorous approach to performing, maintained the energy of the night, even in moments of forgetfulness.

Currently, Bryan is on his “Country Came On Tour,” a concert series that kicked off in Bethel, NY, on May 29.
