Little Big Town revealed that while they were hosting the CMA Music Festival and filming for tonight’s TV special they dented Luke Bryan‘s tour bus.
The “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock 2015” will air tonight (8/4) on ABC TV starting at 7pm central time and the reigning CMA Vocal Group of the Year will again be hosting the special.
The group’s Kimberly Schlapman and Philip Sweet revealed that while filming one of the skits for the special their band mate Jimi Westbrook caused a little damage to Luke Bryan’s tour bus.
“We did a skit with Luke Bryan that’s really funny and Jimi was driving the golf cart,” Kimberly says.
Philip adds, “The skit was basically we put on our talent escort shirts and we take the roles of the talent escort and escort Luke Bryan from his bus to the stage. Well, Jimi’s driving the golf cart and you know it’s all got cameras everywhere.”
That’s when the trouble took place, “When we went to pick up Luke, Jimi didn’t realize he had the golf cart in reverse and he hit the gas real hard and he whammed into Luke’s bus, Kimberly explains with a laugh.
Philip said the impact “put a dent in the bay door,” with Kimberly adding, “Yes he did and Luke was in there waiting on us and he’s like, ‘What just happened to my bus?’ but Jimi whammed right into the bay door where you keep the luggage and wham and dented it, yep.”
The sneak peek video below shows part of that skit. However, it does not show that crash and dent to Luke’s bus. It’ll be fun to see if the TV special tonight shows the incident.
