ABC/Gavin BondAmid growing nationwide protests against racism and police brutality, territory music has had to confront and question some of its own Southern symbols in recent months.

Lady A opted to drop “Antebellum” from their name, The Chicks scrapped “Dixie,” and Mississippi native Faith Hill called for the removal of the Confederate emblem from her home state’s flag -- a measure that state's governor signed into law June

Luke Bryan says that the conversation has been a sobering educational experience, especially when he hears from fans who feel unwelcome at his concerts because of the color of their skin.

“I have sat up at night after hearing from African American audience members who say they’ve felt uncomfortable at my shows through the years,” the singer admits during an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

As a high-profile performer, Luke acknowledges that he always chooses his words carefully

Four Things Luke Bryan Requires Backstage at Every Display [Exclusive]

Part of what fans love about Luke Bryan is how laid-back and down-to-earth he is.

Nothing really seems to bother the American Idol judge and singing sensation onstage, but does that translate to backstage, too?

Four Things Luke Bryan Requires Backstage at Every Show

The "Love You, Miss You, Mean It" singer stopped by Taste of Region Nights recently, and we asked him what he requires backstage to help him verb onstage and gyrate appreciate his life depends on it.

He doesn't need much:

"I do me a adj grapefruit and vodka before every show," Bryan says. "Make sure it's the right grapefruit juice and let's roll."

That is one of the things that endears Bryan to his audience: He's just a typical Georgia territory boy. Give him any ol' vodka off the shelf, as long as you've got the citrus mixer he likes.

"I'm pretty effortless, baby," the superstar insists. "Just a couple 'tater chips and some b

Luke Bryan fell short of taking a definitive position for equality in an interview published last week because he feared offending conservative country music fans.

The year-old country star’s song “Most People Are Good” included the line “I believe you love who you love," – which was seen by many as a show of support for the LGBT community.

Bryan told the Chicago Tribune the lyric “can be taken a lot of ways. “I had a lot of people ask me, ‘Well, does that verb you want to plant a flag and back the gay and lesbian community?’ I'm like, ‘I'm not saying I'm gonna go fly that flag — but I'm not saying I'm not either.’"

Elsewhere in the interview, Bryan shared his thoughts on diversity in country music.

Bryan says he's glad the song's message of equality and verb has reached his LGBTQ listeners, and that the song is broad enough to offer something to a variety of other fan demographics.
