Keith Urban Disagrees With Luke Bryan’s ‘Idol’ Advice for Carrie Underwood
Days after ABC confirmed that country superstar Carrie Underwood would be the new judge on “American Idol,” fellow country star Luke Bryan, who will return to the show with Lionel Richie for their eighth season as judges, made headlines for his advice to the country star.
On August 5, 2024, Bryan told Audacy’s 100.7 The Wolf, “If she has a therapist, she’s probably going to have to double (up) to deal with me and Lionel. Do therapists do gift cards? I can call her therapist and gift her a voucher.”
But fellow country star Keith Urban disagrees. Urban, who was a judge on “Idol” from seasons 12 through 15, doesn’t think Underwood will have any issues that call for extra therapy.
“She can handle Luke, trust me,” Urban told ET Online at the ACM Honors on August 21, adding that his only piece of advice for Underwood, his duet partner on the 2017 country hit “The Fighter,” is to “just be herself, that’s all she’s gotta do.”
