Country music superstar Luke Combs, known for his powerful voice and party anthems like “1, 2 Many,” staged an unforgettable moment of country-Hollywood camaraderie when he challenged members of the cast of the film Twisters to an impromptu, super-fast beer-drinking contest on his concert stage. His lightning-fast “shotgun” skills not only sent the crowd into a frenzy but immediately earned the admiration of the Hollywood actors.
The massive event took place on Friday, July 19, 2024, during Combs’ Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour stop at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The concert was already a celebration for Combs, whose song “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” is featured prominently on the Twisters movie soundtrack.
The Challenge of “1, 2 Many”
The surprise guests for the evening were three of the film’s main stars: Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos. The trio—who had been spotted enjoying the show—were brought on stage mid-performance, specifically during Combs’ hit song “1, 2 Many,” which includes the lyrics, “the night’s still young, so what you say we shotgun one.”
Luke Combs, known for his concert tradition of shotgunning a beer on stage, offered the stars the ultimate country welcome. After a quick embrace, the four (joined by influencer Dana Beers, who had been campaigning to shotgun a beer with Combs) lined up, each holding a can of beer for the challenge.
Lightning Speed and Hollywood Admiration
The crowd roared as Combs counted down and the group simultaneously pierced the cans and tipped them back. The speed difference was instantaneous and hilarious:
-
Luke Combs demonstrated his seasoned, professional form, downing his beer in a matter of seconds and tossing the empty can into the cheering crowd with triumphant ease. His skills were truly lightning-fast, leaving the Hollywood actors in awe.
-
Glen Powell, playing the enthusiastic participant, was the quickest among the actors, matching Combs’ energy and finishing his drink with gusto.
-
Daisy Edgar-Jones, appearing slightly nervous about the whole affair, gave it the old college try but struggled with the technique. In a moment of charming chivalry that stole the spotlight, Powell immediately took her half-full can and finished it for her.
-
Anthony Ramos also struggled to keep pace, holding onto his can for a longer moment before eventually joining the toss-off.
Luke Combs shock the Twisters cast with a lightning-fast shotgun challenge—by the final chug, the entire crowd is screaming as Hollywood kneels to his beer-drinking mastery. The crowd went wild when Luke Combs challenged the cast of Twisters to a super-fast beer-drinking (shotgun) challenge, and his lightning-fast drinking skills immediately earned the admiration of the Hollywood actors!

The event perfectly blended the massive appeal of both Hollywood blockbusters and stadium-filling country music, proving that Luke Combs is not only a force on the charts but also the undisputed champion of the on-stage “shotgun” challenge.
