But this wouldn’t be the first time Bryan joined forces with one of his fellow judges. Call it a possible music triangle!

“Lionel and I have actually recorded stuff that didn’t make it out yet,” he continued. “I wouldn’t call it big news. It was something that Lionel was working on, it was a couple of years ago.”

Though he has yet to cut a duet with Perry, Bryan’s already pretty protective of his new friend. “I haven’t met Orlando yet to suss him out, check this guy out,” Bryan toldAccess Hollywoodof Perry’s boyfriend Orlando Bloom. “If he hurts my little sister—I mean, he just thinks all that bow shooting he did onLord of the Rings… I got some real-world bows.”

The trio — who Perry dubbed as “the dream team” — are judges of the singing competition’slong anticipated rebooton ABC.

The 2018 CMT Music Awards are broadcast live from Nashville on Wednesday, June 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CMT.
