Carrie Underwood Celebrates Opry Anniversary
Carrie Underwood celebrated her 10th anniversary as a Grand Ole Opry member with an appearance on the Opry Friday night (May 11) at the Grand Ole Opry House. Underwood was inducted into the Opry family on May 10, 2008 by Opry member Garth Brooks.
In March 2008, Underwood was surprised with her membership invitation by Opry member Randy Travis after she performed her No. 1 hit “I Told You So,” a song written and originally recorded by Travis. Over the weekend, after again performing “I Told You So,” Underwood was surprised when Travis made another appearance to congratulate her on 10 years of Opry membership.
Underwood, whose new album Cry Pretty will be released by Capitol Records Nashville on Sept. 14, is also scheduled to play two shows at the Opry on June 5 as part of the Opry’s kick off to CMA Music Festival.
