His Tip for Langley
This is what Bryan had to say to the "You Look Like You Love Me" singer. "It so exciting to be on the cusp of your dreams coming true. She's becoming a celebrity. It's really fun. She has the right tools. I introduced her to the music of KT Oslin. I told her, 'You need to listen to KT Oslin.'"
Zimmerman Got Advice From Bryan After He Had a Tough Time on Stage
Per Country Now, back in January, Zimmerman had an unfortunate experience on stage. He "delivered a performance that he wasn't proud of while seemingly intoxicated at Bryan's Crash My Playa Festival in Cancun, Mexico," per the outlet. The singer fell, did not come across with his finest vocals, and messed up some lyrics. All in all, it must have been a disappointing time for Zimmerman and his fans.
Per the outlet via Instagram, he sincerely tried to make amends. He posted, "I'm so sorry to everybody... I know I let yall down... I let my self down...I hope you guys can find some grace and understand that I'm growing up and learning as I go. I'm human. Tomorrow is a new day... I'm gonna be better I promise
I hope ya know that I love yall more than anything. Again I'm so sorry"

What Luke Bryan Advised Him
Bryan, speaking on Country Countdown USA with Lon Helton, gave Zimmerman some compassionate advice. According to the outlet, he suggested that the young star learn from the experience, give himself some grace, and forgive himself.
Bryan said, "When I was his age, people didn't shoot video of everything. I told him, 'Learn, be better, and you're human.' Then we did a song together, He said, 'Yeah, let's do it!' He's being Bailey. When he walked out, the fans lost it. We got him in, and we got him outta there."
