“You can look at them and really understand and tell how much they love each other and they’re enjoying each other,” he continues. “Any advice is always just talk it out and stay the way they are.”
“I mean, all thepictures from the weddingjust say everything,” the “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)” crooner adds. “They were made for each other, and [though] it took them a few years to find one another, I’m just very happy that they did find each other.”
But, despite all the love that Bryan has for Shelton, the singer-songwriter still loves to tease his self-described “rival,” as evidenced in his newRise Before Sunrisedigital series, which he has worked on in partnership with German tractor maker Fendt.
In itsinaugural episode, Bryan teased the “God’s Country” singer’s farming talents, noting he is “no question” a better farmer than Shelton. Bryan also added that he would give him “3 and a half stars out of five” if he were to rate him in a Yelp review.
In another clip from the fun-hearted series, above, Bryan pokes fun at some other celebrity friends as he explains the jobs he would give his fellowAmerican Idoljudges on his farm.
So what would the country star haveKaty PerryandLionel Richiedo? According to Bryan, the Fendt 724 Gen6 tractor he is seen riding on his farm outside of Nashville is “so nice,” he thinks Perry, 36, could do the same work as him, while Richie, 72, could “stay parked in the truck with the air conditioning [on],” as not to “mess up his Gucci shoes.”
“I’ve always really tried to uplift farmers and celebrate what farmers do for the world,” Bryan tells PEOPLE of the partnership with Fendt. “… Rise Before Sunrise, it’s something Fendt does [so] when farmers are up having their coffee before the sun comes up … they can go on and watch and enjoy some of the content we put out there speaking to farmers.”
