@time: “I’m not gonna make it sound like I’m the perfect dad, ‘cause I am not.” Luke Combs is sitting at the top of the country music charts. His new album ‘The Way I Am’ is a hit; he has multiple songs on Billboard's Hot 100, and in March he broke the attendance record at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, drawing a larger crowd than the 2024 Super Bowl. In other words, he’s living the dream. But the country star is also living the reality of a worn-down dad of three young boys, just trying to get through it. For all of this and more, Combs is among TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of the past year. #lukecombs #country #countrymusic #musictok
