On May 6, 2017, Luke Bryan delighted fans at his sold-out concert in Nashville by inviting Carrie Underwood on stage for a surprise duet of his hit song “Play It Again.” This performance took place during the opening weekend of his “Huntin’, Fishin’, and Lovin’ Every Day Tour,” which kicked off with two nights at Bridgestone Arena.
Underwood, wearing a Nashville Predators t-shirt in support of her husband, Mike Fisher, who was the captain of the NHL team, made a grand entrance to the stage. She brought with her a Predators cap for Bryan, adding a fun and personal touch to the performance. The duo’s chemistry was palpable as they sang “Play It Again,” with the crowd enthusiastically joining in, making it a memorable moment for everyone present.
But the excitement didn’t end there. Following their lively rendition of “Play It Again,” Bryan and Underwood moved to a piano where they performed “I Told You So,” originally by Randy Travis. This song also holds significance for Underwood, as she recorded it both solo and in collaboration with Travis himself. The audience responded with fervor, singing along to the classic, showcasing the deep connection between the artists and their fans.
This surprise collaboration not only highlighted the star power of both artists but also marked a memorable highlight of Bryan’s tour. While they have yet to release a duet together, the performance hinted at the potential magic they could create in the studio.
