2020 CMT Music Awards are finally here and Luke Combs, who is one of the artistes with leading nominations this year, is already making waves on the Internet. No, not for his performance but for chugging a beer on national television. The 30-year-old opened the fan-voted award ceremony with the iconic country music duo Brooks & Dunn and the Internet could not keep calm.
Apart from praising the award show for choosing Combs and Brooks & Dunn to kickstart the ceremony, fans also went berserk on Twitter when Combs chugged a beer in the middle of his performance on stage. One Twitterati asserted, "@lukecombs shotgunning a beer to open up the @CMT awards is exactly what 2020 needs #CMTawards.” Another said, "Luke Combs should kick off every awards show. #CMTawards."
While sharing a funny GIF, one individual added, "Lukecombs shotguns a beer - my 10-year-old says, 'That’s CANnibalism!!' #PunWellDone #PunnyGirl #JustLikeHerMama #Proud #CMTawards #CMTMusicAwards.” One user stated, “Now THAT is how you start an award show!!! @lukecombs @RonnieDunn @KixBrooks and shotgunning a beer Raising handsFlexed bicepsFlag of United States #CMTMusicAwards #CMTawards.” Another added, “Luke Combs just appeared to shotgun beer on #CMTawards so that's how this is gonna go.”
