Luke Bryan 'amazingly suprised' to receive ACM entertainer of the year

There's no entertainer like Luke Bryan.

As of the 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards,  the American Idol judge has been titled the entertainer of the year.

"I'm in L.A., oh my God. Y'all got me. I'm amazingly surprised. What an honor," Bryan said from the sets of American Idol.

"To the ACM, I'm so sorry I could not be there. I missed certainly being able to do my song. And all the winners tonight, congratulations. Oh my God. Y'all got me!"

The singer also thanked his wife Caroline and their sons Bo, 13, and Tate, 10.

"And to all my fans out there and country radio. We've missed touring, we've missed being on the road with everybody that makes me an entertainer," he continued. "What a challenging year, but to all the fans and everybody, we'll be back out on the road doing what we love."

"What an amazing honor," he concluded. "I love you guys."
