Feb 01, 2022 by apost team

It seems like people are always in the most inconvenient places whenever they have car troubles. It’s important to keep up with proper care and maintenance for your car, but it can be expensive at times. On top of that, sometimes the unexpected happens, and it’s nothing that anyone can really prepare for.

For one woman, she found herself to be in a pretty difficult situation when her tire blew out while she was driving on a curving road. She immediately had to stop her car once her tire blew out, resulting in her parking her car while still being on the road. A man driving a truck even almost ran into her car, but fortunately managed to stay safe, and even offered to help her out.

Courtney Potts from Columbia, Tennessee, was having a pretty rough day on Oct. 25, 2021, when her tire blew out while she was driving along a curve. Fortunately, someone stopped to help her, but she would never have expected it to be a celebrity.

It’s common for country music stars to live in Tennessee, especially close to Nashville, since it’s a bustling place for country music. There are plenty of places to perform at and several record producers in the area as well, making it a landmine for country music stars. Potts was shocked to say the least when none other than Luke Bryan pulled over to help her out with her flat tire. Like any fan would, Potts was sure to capture the entire moment on video to upload for all of her friends and family to see.

The Star Who Helped Her

What started off as a pretty frustrating day turned into one that Potts will never forget. The mother was driving in Columbia, Tennessee, with her children on Oct. 25, 2021, when her tire blew out, leaving it flat and useless. She stopped her car and knew that she needed help, but she never expected it to come from a famous celebrity.

Speaking with News4, Potts explained that Bryan had spotted her car and said that he almost even hit it before pulling over to help her. She recognized his voice right away as he told her that they needed to get her vehicle out of the road to keep everyone safe.

Bryan has been a megastar in country music for several years. He first began his career as an artist by writing songs for other performers such as Travis Tritt and Billy Currington before embarking on a singing career himself. It wasn’t long before Bryan was viewed as one of the legends in the industry, showing off his eclectic musical abilities. Some of his most popular songs include “Rain Is a Good Thing,” “Country Girl (Shake It for Me),” “Play It Again” and “I Don’t Want This Night to End.” He is also known for being a judge on “American Idol.”

Despite being such a huge star, Bryan has continued to enjoy the simpler moments of life, such as fishing and spending time with his family. More importantly, he has shown that he is still humble, and even has time to help someone in need, like Potts and her flat tire.

Potts has continued to re-upload the video on her Instagram, clearly still blown away by the fact that Bryan stopped to help her. The clip showed Bryan loosening lug nuts and jacking her car up as he worked diligently to change her flat tire.

The original post has since been viewed more than 233,000 times and has received thousands of comments as well. Many people applauded Bryan for proving to be such a humble celebrity who genuinely cares about others. On top of that, he also proved that he stands by what he sings about in his songs.

One person commented, “He just seems like the kind of young man that would help anybody that needed his help and that’s a good thing. He’s not one of those stuck on himself, he still helps others.” Another person said, “Always loved that man and knew he had a wonderful heart!!”

Speaking with News4, Potts mentioned that Bryan left her with some useful advice after he changed her flat tire. “As soon as he got done changing the tire, he was like, ‘Yeah, go get new tires,’” she said.
