Country music superstar Luke Combs invited the cast of the upcoming film "Twisters" on stage during his concert at MetLife Stadium for a special beer-swigging tradition. Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos joined Combs to shotgun beers, with Powell even helping Edgar-Jones finish her drink.
Country music star Luke Combs knows how to make a grand entrance. As he took the stage at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Friday night, the "Fast Car" singer was not alone. He was joined by the cast of the upcoming film "Twisters" for a special tradition: shotgunning beers on stage.

In the middle of his hit song "1, 2 Many," Powell, who stars in the film alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos, surprised the crowd by taking part in the Combs concert tradition. The trio walked out on stage, with Powell sporting blue jeans, a dark green button-up shirt, and black cowboy boots, while Edgar-Jones opted for a chic brown leather coat and denim slacks, and Ramos wore khaki cargo pants and a white T-shirt.
Combs, a longtime Miller Lite fan, shared a hug with each of the actors as they lined up on stage with their beers. After a brief countdown, the group swigged back their drinks simultaneously and threw the empties into the crowd. Powell even took it upon himself to help Edgar-Jones finish her beer.

Combs' special guests have a direct connection to the musician. The film "Twisters" features Combs' song "Ain't No Love in Oklahoma" on its soundtrack. The movie, a sequel to the 1996 blockbuster "Twister," stars Powell, Edgar-Jones, and Ramos as storm chasers facing off against devastating tornadoes.
Powell has previously dismissed suggestions that the film carries an underlying message about climate change. "First and foremost, because if you’re telling people what to think, you’re not allowing them to feel," he told The Telegraph. "You can’t put people into that heightened state if they’re thinking, ‘Hmm, do I or do I not agree with this message?’"

Combs is renowned for his energetic live performances and close connections with his fans. The beer-swigging tradition has become a staple of his concerts, and the addition of the "Twisters" cast added a special touch to the night. The crowd cheered wildly as the actors joined Combs on stage, and the energy reached new heights as the group downed their beers together.
The concert was a memorable experience for both Combs and the "Twisters" cast. Powell shared the video of the beer-shotgunning on his Instagram stories, while Edgar-Jones posted on her own social media, "So this happened." Combs also captured the moment on his Instagram page, writing, "Hey 'Twisters' cast, what you say we shotgun one?!"
