Luke Bryan was playing a show at his Las Vegas residency on New Year's Eve Sunday when he stopped the show to pay tribute to his wife Caroline. Her birthday is December 31.
Luke brought his wife on stage and began to sing her Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" as the crowd joined him. Caroline danced on stage with her husband and high-fived fans in the front row throughout the song. At one point in the song,
One fan captured the moment and posted a video clip on her Instagram.
Luke posted a sweet message to his wife on his Instagram and included a photo of the couple in bathing suits with fireworks behind them. He wrote, "Happy Birthday @linabryan3. I love you to the moon and back. Thank god yo butt was born."
Early last month (December 8), the couple celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary.

Bryan reminisced about his long career recently. Luke chatted with us and admitted maybe he shook his booty a little too much over the years. But he had his reasons. He said, "The fans are what make you. You know, once I realized I shake my butt a little bit, girls scream a little bit, so I kinda maybe started overdoing the butt shaking a little bit. But you've got to make the fans smile and have fun. And I think that's with the music, too."
He said of his song catalog, "I think these songs are a flow of me trying to give fans what they want. There were songs that maybe were off the path of trying to be who I was, but that was all trying to do that. It was trying to do something that sounds a little different and not trying to be redundant."
Country superstars live a charmed life for the most part. They have money to burn and they have adoring fans cheering on their every move. Whether it's on stage or on social media, where they tout their what seems to be a "glamorous" lifestyle. Like Miranda Lambert's song "Little Red Wagon" sings with such sass in the lyrics. "I play guitar, and I go on the road. I do all the s--- you wanna do! You can't ride in my little red wagon."
Their existence seems untouchable at times. But country stars, in fact, are just like all of us. They have lives full of fun, joy, family excitement and some drama. And then there's a bit of heartbreak and bad luck at times. They often write about such times in their songs. They reflect their loves and lives that we all can relate to and sing along to.
Kenny Chesney sings of fame in his fictional 2003 song "Big Star," about a female country singer that goes from singing in bars to the big time. He sang in part, "She made the local cable shows / Where the camera fell in love with her face / After a couple of weekends / The groupies were crawling all over the place / She signed autographs / Like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt / And in the aftermath / That small time town was hers."
We all saw the "big star" Chesney mourn the loss of his beloved dog Ruby late last year, something many of us have felt at one time or another.
In 2010, Brad Paisley released what he called a love song to the fans, "This Is Country Music." Paisley, who owns homes in Nashville and Los Angeles with his movie star wife Kim, sang about the music that made him a superstar. He sang in part, "You're not supposed to say the word 'cancer' in a song. / And tellin' folks Jesus is the answer can rub 'em wrong / It ain't hip to sing about tractors, trucks, little towns, and mama, yeah that might be true. / But this is country music, and we do."
Here are seven examples of country superstars proving they are just like us:

Luke Combs
Luke Combs - While in Australia playing a sold-out tour for fans down under, Luke Combs' wife Nicole posted something we have all posted a time to two, family photos from a recent photo shoot. The photos are of Nicole, Luke, and their son Tex as the couple await the birth of their second child. The only thing that sets the photos apart from all of us is that Tex is shown from the back. The couple have been careful not to reveal their one-year-old's face to the public.
Miranda Lambert
Miranda often shares social media posts that prove she is just like us, sharing moments from trips with her husband to the occasional trip to the Nashville Metro Animal Control to adopt a cat or dog. In a recent post on Instagram, Miranda posted photos of herself and a friend who stopped by to adopt not one but two kittens.
Carrie Underwood
Carrie posted to Instagram right after she wrapped shows on her recent Las Vegas residency. She shared images of herself, two sisters, and even her mom getting matching heart tattoos. It's not Underwood's first tattoo; she shared before in another post she and some friends getting tats of a small flower.
Blake Shelton
Blake often posts on his social media himself on his tractor working the fields on his Oklahoma farm. Shelton also shares a love of planting flowers with his wife, Gwen Stefani, on the same property.
Luke Bryan
Luke may be a superstar in music and on TV's American Idol, making millions of dollars a year, but that never takes away his fishing time with his sons, Bo and Tate, and his wife, Caroline. Luke constantly posts family stuff, "huntin', fishing, and loving every day."
Keith Urban
Keith and his Oscar-winning movie star wife, Nicole Kidman, seem to live country music's most glamorous life of all, but that doesn't stop the famous couple from doing everyday things like camping. Urban posted he and his wife were camping in their native Australia earlier this year and encountered a wild animal.
Tim McGraw
Tim has done fantastic work in the last several years to be in the best physical shape of his life. Not long ago, he shared a video clip on Instagram about one of the ways he stays in top condition, taking a simple walk every day with one of his family dogs.
