Potts shared her experience with videos on TikTok and Instagram on Monday.

“I have lived here my entire life and this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime thing!” Potts wrote in the comments section of her TikTok post.

Potts said that she “definitely” knew how to change a tire.

“No one reads,” she wrote on TikTok. “I was in a bad curve with two kids and you tell me you would tell Luke Bryan to leave.”

Potts said Bryan was trying to take his boys hunting, but he was worried about the woman and her children, The Tennessean reported.

Potts said the tire blew while she was traveling to her parents’ home, WKRN reported. Bryan got out of his pickup truck to help.

“He was like, ‘Hey, I almost hit you! This is a really bad road, we’ve got to get out of this curve,’” Potts told the television station. “I knew his voice, and I was like, ‘OK, this is happening?!’

“He didn’t act like a celebrity, not even a little bit. He just looked like anybody else that would have pulled over,” Potts told WKRN. “He wanted to get his boys out and show them how to change a tire. He wanted them to have the same hospitality.”

Thirty minutes later, Bryan was finished. She took a photo with Bryan, which she also posted on social media.

The posts went viral.

“There’s people that I haven’t talked to in years that have shared it,” Potts told WKRN. “For that to go viral, I was just blown away, and it’s one of those things where you go, ‘What just happened?’”
