Luke Bryan recently stopped by Taste of Country Nights, and was asked what country music smells like.

Instead of laughing it off, he took the question seriously.

Luke looked up at the ceiling as if he were carefully considering his answer before finally sharing it.

“A perm at a hair salon and funnel cake.”

As funny as it sounds, he’s not entirely wrong.
