Luke Bryan boasts over 7 million followers on Instagram. His mother, LeClaire, has over 315,000. While that number pales in comparison to her country music star son, LeClaire's fans are very dedicated, waiting for her to share childhood photos of the American Idol judge or to see what she picked up on her latest shopping spree.

However, fans have noticed that LeClaire's posts have been fewer and farther between over the last few months, causing some concern. Addressing this at a recent pre-show event for Luke Bryan Nut House Fan Club members and VIP ticket holders, the "Drunk On You" singer shared an update on his mom.
"She's Still Chain-Smoking and Chugging Bud Lights"
According to Country Now, Luke had some fun with the fan question about his mom.
"How's my mother?" he replied. "My mother is... My mother, it's funny, she's kind of chilled out on Instagram, so everybody's checking on her because she's been less active on Instagram, and I'm very happy about that. My mother is fine. She's still asking for the same ludicrous amounts of money once a month, so she's all good."
He added, "She's still chain-smoking and chugging Bud Lights."
Luke Bryan Is a Frequent Guest on LeClaire's Posts
Like a parent before a first date, LeClaire frequently shares embarrassing pics of her son Luke. For example, back in July, she shared a photo of Luke with a big smile on his face, holding a stuffie.
"Happy birthday to Like and his teddy bear tomorrow love mamma," she wrote.
It's not a picture that's going to earn Luke any cool points, but it certainly makes him relatable to fans.
The next photo LeClaire posted didn't do Luke any favors either. It's a school photo of him dressed in a bright red and white plaid cowboy shirt. His smile hasn't changed, but his hairstyle has. That bowl cut is something else.
Other Country Stars Are in on LeClaire's Shenanigans
At last year's Crash My Playa event in Mexico, LeClaire befriended Bailey Zimmerman.
Apparently, the chairs at the hotel were a little wet, so LeClaire and Zimmerman showed off their wet bottoms for the camera.
With all these memorable moments, let's hope LeClaire gets back on the 'Gram soon. We need more of this in our lives.
