Country music star Luke Combs wants to avoid 'labels'
Luke Combs has explained why he remains politically neutral.
Luke Combs purposefully avoids discussing politics.
The 36-year-old star is keen to avoid political labels and is instead focused on "just being a good person".
Speaking to GQ Hype, Luke shared: "That’s the space that I would like to operate in, you know what I mean? Basically, just being a good person, and doing what you believe is right, and not getting involved in the minutiae of labelling it.
"Why can’t you just be a good person and just be loved?"
Luke explained that he's keen to follow the example of Dolly Parton, who has remained popular with people on both sides of the political divide throughout her career.
He said: "It does take some massaging to do it all in a way that doesn’t come off as, like, deceitful or trite. It’s a delicate balance, but she has done a masterful job of it."
Luke is also thrilled that country music has become more popular outside the US, and in the UK in particular.
He shared: "Wembley is one of the bucket list venues you want to play, but for it to finally happen is truly a dream come true. To play iconic rooms like Red Rocks, Madison Square Garden, The Gorge, and Slane Castle is amazing, but what is more amazing is the fact that country music, the music I love, is this popular and supported across the pond."
Meanwhile, Luke recently revealed that he'd love to perform the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
The singer thinks the American public would "love" to see a country musician perform the Halftime Show.
During an appearance on The Zach Sang Show, Luke was asked about the absence of country stars at the Halftime Show, and he replied: "I don’t really know why that is. It’s not up to me.
"I think the people would love it. That’s no pitch for me, I think it’s just a pitch for country music in general, you know? Whether it’s Garth (Brooks) or Morgan Wallen or whoever it is, like, somebody deserves to be up there doing the thing."
