ABC’s hit show “The Bachelorette” is going country again tonight!
Bachelorette Emily Maynard and one of her suitors, Arie, take a trip on a private jet to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. After enjoying a day at the theme park, Emily and Arie are surprised with a performance by country music legend Dolly Parton.
On her other one-on-one date, Emily brings Chris along for an adventurous day in Charlotte, North Carolina. They begin their date by scaling a building. After taking their relationship to “new heights,” Emily has another surprise up her sleeve for Chris, who told her he was a country music fan on the first night they met.
She takes him to a parking lot where country superstar Luke Bryan and his band are waiting to serende them with performances of two of Luke’s biggest hits – “Do I” and “Drunk On You.”
Luke says he jumped at the chance to appear on the show. “When you get a call to be a part of something like ‘The Bachelorette,’ and something that is in a lot of households and it’s key to women, and so obviously, you want to be on TV in front of a huge female audience. So yeah, we were like, ‘Yeah, let’s do the Bachelorette.’ So, we went down to Charlotte and did it, and it was a fun thing to do. And I think what’s ironic about it is ‘Drunk on You’ is really kind of a timing thing with, man, we had a right song that really works on it. So, we went down there, and I think it’ll come off pretty cool.”
Be sure to tune in tonight to see Dolly and Luke! “The Bachelorette” airs at 8/7c on ABC.
