Reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan had the opportunity to meet his doppelganger and it was made entirely of BACON!
The superstar kicked off his 2021 Farm Tour at Statz Bros. Farm in Marshall, WI on Thursday (Sept. 9) and to celebrate, Farm Tour partner Farmland created a bust comprised of 50 pounds of bacon to look just like the Georgia native.
Standing two feet tall, the bacon bust was presented to Bryan in celebration of the first of six Farm Tour dates.
This year’s Farm Tour features Bryan with special guests Dylan Scott, Whitney Duncan, The Peach Pickers (Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip) and DJ Rock.
After kicking off in Marshall, WI, the Farm Tour will make stops in various cities around the Mid-West through September 18. The tour, which is sponsored by Fendt, TRACKER OFF ROAD, Farmland, American Building Components (ABC™), DISH, Monster and Citi, will continue to support farming families through scholarships.
Since the inception of Farm Tour in 2009, Bryan has awarded more than 60 scholarships to students from farming families.
Additional details about the 2021 Farm Tour can be found HERE.
Bryan recently celebrated his 27th No.1 single with “Waves.” The track reached the top spot on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts, becoming his fifth consecutive No.1 single from his latest album, Born Here Live Here Die Here.
The five-time Entertainer of the Year is also in the midst of his massive headlining Proud To Be Right Here Tour, which runs through October.
