Each Halloween, Luke Bryan and his wife, Caroline, dress up in outfits that complement each other; they always are a cute Halloween couple. They always start thinking ahead as to what they’re going to be each year to thrill friends and family and, of course, embarrass their children.

Bryan told us, "Me and Caroline did one year where I dressed up as the old lady, and she dressed up as, she called herself a 'dirty old man.' So, she went around acting like an old man saying snide comments to everybody. That was a fun one. The main thing is Caroline loves Halloween and always has."

He added with a smile, "Caroline picks the outfits. I never know what I’m wearing."

His holiday also involves hay, "So that day, I’ll talk to the neighbors ‘cause I have a tractor back there, and I’ll go get my tractor and get a big long trailer, and then I’ll run down to…a couple miles from the farm, we’ve got a big hay farmer that keeps hay, and you run in there and pay him for his hay bales. And I’ll load the hay up and get the hayride ready, and we’ll take all the kids behind the tractor and have a fun Halloween with all that."

The country singer also takes note of the candy his kids get each year, "You can find out a lot about your neighbors by what kind of candy they put out. So, well, like full bars of Snickers bars, that’s what, and Reese’s cups, [but] the old chocolate popcorn ball of stuff, that’s no good either, like Dots – you get Dots one time of year, and they pull your teeth."

Bryan has been doing interviews for his new album, Mind Of A Country Boy, and in one recent interview, he got pretty candid about his star power and where he is today as opposed to where he was when his career "peaked" a few years ago.

He said, "Every artist hits their peak. I was selling out football stadiums on the first day, [the] three or four years I did it. I know that's my peak, probably."

Luke added candidly, "I'm not even gonna say 'probably.' I know it is,"

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
