Carrie Underwood to Join the Grand Ole Opry

Former American Idol and current American superstar Carrie Underwood will become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. The invitation was a complete surprise as Randy Travis issued the invitation yesterday.

“I felt like I just won something amazing all over again,” she said. “The Opry has meant so much to me growing up, seeing people perform and wanting to do that.”

Congratulations to Carrie. This is a great honor for her and very well deserved.
