On Tuesday (Aug. 2), Ell played for fans at the Southwest Porch in New York City’s Bryant Park as part of the Opry’s summer music series Circle in the City. On Wednesday, on the flight back to Nashville, Ell performed a Live at 35 concert for passengers and surprised everyone on board with tickets to her appearance at the Opry that night in Nashville.
