Luke Combs Fantasy Football Punishment
Luke Combs runs his own Fantasy Football league with his high school buddies, and when the season ended, Luke decided the losers must sing in front of 60 thousand of his screaming fans even if they can’t sing all that well.
Luke handed out the punishment at his show in Cincinnati over the weekend (8/3). As you can see on the TikTok video, a fan shot of the moment below, in between songs, the country star paused his set to explain that he and his league had agreed that the losers would come out onstage and sing with him in front of thousands of people.
Combs told the crowd, “I’ve been in a fantasy football league with some of my best friends from high school for 12 years now. Last year, we decided that whoever lost was gonna have to come onstage and sing with me tonight.”
The singer’s fantasy football punishment wound up going to not one but two losers. He explained, “Lucky for me, there was a scoring issue in the last game, and my two best friends in the whole world both lost, and they both have to come out and sing in front of you guys tonight. And it’s about to happen. I’m so excited.”
He said bringing his buddies on stage, “I want everybody to get a nice look at their blue suede shoes, because these boys are about to be walking in Memphis.” The guys sang a sad cover of Mark Cohen’s 1992 hit, “Walking In Memphis.”

Luke recently told CMT about his new duet buddy Post Malone, “He’s so nice. He’s just an unbelievable guy. You can’t help but be happy around him, to be honest. He’s just in such a great mood all the time, at least when I’m around him. I’m sure he has his moments like everybody else. But, he’s just welcoming to anyone and everyone.”
Combs said writing songs with Malone is different. He offered, “Those songwriting sessions can be really, really fun, but I think sometimes here in Nashville, we can be so structured and rigid, like, ‘We’re writing at eleven o’clock, and we’re leaving by this time.’ It becomes this nine-to-five kind of job sometimes.”
Not with Posty. Luke explained that with Malone, they were starting at eight PM “at night,” and then a lot of times, “I’d leave at three or four in the morning.” He said at the end of the night, they had written four or five songs, and “we did that five or six times at least.”
Combs has two duets with Malone on his new country album, out on August 16th.
