Luke Bryan Knows He’s Finally Made It After Being Featured on ‘Jeopardy’
He's had countless No. 1s, chart-topping albums and sold out stadiums, but it was becoming an answer to a question on Jeopardy that solidified to Luke Bryan that he's a superstar.
Bryan posted the golden moment to Instagram, zooming in on the TV as the question "For great American music, this state that gave us Luke Bryan & R.E.M." appears onscreen. Contestant Austin Rogers immediately got the question right by answering the state of Georgia, scoring himself $800.
"I made it," Bryan writes in the caption of the video.
