Luke Combs recalls awkward first meeting with Blake Shelton

Luke Combs opened up about an early meeting with Blake Shelton.

The outlet reported that the 36-year-old singer recalled attending a Mississippi farm gathering while he was sick and felt uncomfortable around experienced industry figures.

According to People, speaking about the moment, he said, "I'm the new guy, nobody knows who I am, and I felt like I wasn't supposed to be there."

He went on to describe, "I'm in there, and Colin has this beautiful farm in Mississippi, and there's deer, and I'm like, 'Man, this is like Mecca for a redneck.' There are ducks in the pond, and here I am, chugging the Imodium on the toilet."

Moreover, speaking at a private event on March 20, he reflected, "It was less than ideal. I remember thinking, like, 'Well, this is it. My career's over.'" I finally got invited to a cool thing, and I'm the weird guy in the room that's sick."

Additionally, they are planning to work together this fall to expand Category 10 to Las Vegas, adding to its Nashville location. His sixth studio album, The Way I Am, was released earlier this month.
