Luke Bryan Shocked by Happy Mother’s Day Surprise on ‘American Idol’

Luke Bryan was surprised Sunday night (May 13), during the episode of Mother's Day American Idol, where his mother made a surprise visit to the show.

However, there was a step before the surprise when Bryan's mother, LeClaire, sent what appeared to be a recorded message to her son.

"Hi Luke", started in the clip. "I miss you here Mother's Day." (I) I wish I could be with you I have a good day here on the beach I hope you'll be with me I'm very proud of you I'm excited for the night where I see American Idol I still love you, I'll call you in the morning, I have something to tell you about fishing.

As everyone in the audience laughed and Bryan began to explain how important fishing was in the family, LeClaire could be seen sneaking behind him, finally revealing himself and kissing his son.

"She caught me," said Bryan, looking confused that his mother was really there with him. "It's like too much emotion in a day."

Fans might say that Bryan did not quite agree even after the show, while Bryan tweeted a picture of the moment for his fans. Of course, this emotional moment was one of many on the May 13 episode of American Idol. Carrie Underwood not only returned to the show that made her a star to guide the contestants and perform live, but she was also announced to the 3 finalists.
