Introduced by co-hosts Luke Bryan, Lainey Wilson, and Peyton Manning, who appeared trapped in a Twister (a fitting nod to Oklahoma\u2019s stormy reputation), the country superstar unleashed a performance that was nothing short of explosive. The stage was set with towering oil rigs filling the backdrop and explosions of fire erupting throughout his performance.<\/p>\n

Donning his signature Columbia PFG, dark-colored pants and a\u00a0Blue Otter Polarized\u00a0ball cap, Luke Combs belted out the lyrics to the anthemic tune. \u201cAin\u2019t no love in Oklahoma \/ Just the whistle of a long black train \/ You\u2019ll know when it\u2019s comin\u2019 for ya \/ Ridin\u2019 in on the wind and rain,\u201d\u00a0Combs sang on the track\u2019s chorus.<\/p>\n

His energy-filled performance, powerful vocals and commanding stage presence kept the audience captivated from start to finish.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the show, Luke Combs reflected on how the song came to be during a discussion with the Country Music Association (CMA).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m performing \u2018Ain\u2019t No Love in Oklahoma,\u2019 which is a song I wrote for the\u00a0Twisters<\/em>\u00a0movie. I got a call, I don\u2019t know, obviously before the movie came out, and they wanted to do an original soundtrack, and they wanted me to write something uptempo and fun and fast, and that\u2019s what we did, and it turned out to be really great,\u201d Combs recalled. \u201cI didn\u2019t know really what to expect [and] I don\u2019t have too much experience doing stuff like that, but it was a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also shared his thoughts on his high-energy performance, revealing that he\u2019s never added a big production with \u201ccool lights and fire\u201d at an awards show. He prefers to focus on the music, keeping the performance simple and without all the extra flair. \u201cWe\u2019ve never done that. We\u2019ve never done that stuff ever before. So I think it makes it a little bit cooler for us to, as people who, me and my band, we really shy away from that stuff,\u201d Combs continued. \u201cWe like to let the music speak for itself, but I think this song is the perfect time to dip our toe into that. So we\u2019re excited about it. It\u2019s going to be a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAin\u2019t No Love In Oklahoma\u201d appears on the GRAMMY-nominated\u00a0Twisters<\/em>\u00a0movie soundtrack, which features all original songs by a slew of country stars.<\/p>\n
