Luke Combs’ recent show at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium was a night to remember, and not just because of his chart-topping hits. On July 19, during his Growin' Up and Gettin' Old tour, the country superstar was joined onstage by a trio of stars from Hollywood’s latest blockbuster, Twisters. Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos made a surprise appearance, turning the concert into an unforgettable party.
In a video that quickly went viral on social media, the Twisters cast members are seen making their grand entrance with beer cans in hand. They walked onto the stage, much to the excitement of the crowd, and joined Combs for an impromptu beer shotgunning session. Edgar-Jones had a bit of trouble finishing her beer but passed it to Powell, who downed it with impressive speed. The empty cans were then tossed into the sea of cheering fans. Edgar-Jones captioned the video on her Instagram Story with, "So this happened," tagging Combs and her Twisters co-stars. Ramos, not missing a beat, reposted the clip with the comment, "The most legendary moment."
This high-energy cameo was more than just a fun diversion. It was a celebration of the release of Twisters, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 hit film Twister. The new film, produced by Universal Pictures, has already made a significant splash at the box office. Predictions from The Hollywood Reporter suggest it will rake in around $74.6 million in its domestic opening weekend. It’s clear that Twisters is picking up where its predecessor left off, and the excitement is palpable.
Luke Combs’ involvement in the Twisters soundtrack added another layer of excitement to the night. His original track, "Ain't No Love in Oklahoma," is featured on the film’s soundtrack and has quickly climbed to No. 10 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, even though it’s only been out for nine weeks. The soundtrack is packed with contributions from other country music stars like Miranda Lambert, Kane Brown, Lainey Wilson, Shania Twain, and Jelly Roll.
Combs' manager, Chris Kappy, shared that the singer was thrilled to be a part of this project. "We wanted to do this because it wasn't a remake of a classic, but a continuation of the film's narrative," Kappy told Billboard. "The team at Atlantic and Universal were incredibly professional and fun to work with. They gave Luke full creative control over his song, which made the process smooth and enjoyable."
This moment at MetLife Stadium wasn’t just a random act of fun—it was a perfect blend of country music and blockbuster excitement. The energy of Combs’ performance, combined with the surprise appearance of the Twisters stars, made for a night that fans won’t soon forget. With the film making waves and the soundtrack hitting high notes, it’s clear that the collaboration between Luke Combs and Twisters has struck a chord with audiences.
In summary, Luke Combs’ show turned into a celebration of both his music and the new Twisters film, thanks to the surprise appearance of Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos. The beer-chugging fun and the high-energy crowd made for a legendary night, while the success of the film and the soundtrack highlight the strong synergy between country music and Hollywood blockbusters.
