Luke Bryan Pokes Fun at Blake Shelton’s Tour Ticket Sales

Bethel, N.Y. – Luke Bryan recently took a light-hearted jab at fellow country singer Blake Shelton during a behind-the-scenes video for his upcoming Country Song Came On Tour. The video was recorded on May 5, 2025, as Bryan prepared for the tour’s kickoff on May 29 in Bethel.

In the clip, Bryan finds himself in an empty arena with just a handful of stage crew nearby. As he starts recording, he humorously remarks, “Hey y’all, so we’re at rehearsal for the Country Song Came On Tour. We got this building just to kind of show everybody what Blake Shelton’s ticket sales look like.” The joke played on the backdrop of the empty venue, hinting at a lack of crowd attendance.

Adding to the humor, a sound effect of crickets chirping accompanies his quip, emphasizing the punchline about Shelton’s ticket sales. The few crew members present laughed along, enjoying the playful banter between the friends.

Blake Shelton is currently touring with his Friends and Heroes Tour, which started in February and is set to run through October. While there are no reports indicating low ticket sales for Shelton’s tour, Bryan’s comment showcases the long-standing friendship and friendly rivalry between the two artists.

This kind of playful ribbing is not new for Bryan and Shelton, as they have a history of exchanging banter both online and in person. Their friendly rivalry has become a popular topic among fans, adding to the fun dynamics of their public personas.
