Carrie Underwood paid tribute to country music legend Randy Travis at the 100th anniversary celebration of the Grand Ole Opry on Wednesday night. Underwood took the stage to honor Travis, who welcomed her as a member of the Opry 17 years ago in 2008.
Underwood’s performance included two of Travis’ hit songs, “Three Wooden Crosses” and “Forever and Ever, Amen.” The emotional moment came when Underwood walked over to Travis in the crowd and handed him the microphone to sing the closing verse. This led to a standing ovation from the crowd, with many fans taking to social media to express their admiration for the heartfelt performance.
The Grand Ole Opry 100th anniversary celebration featured a lineup of country music stars, including Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Carly Pearce, and Post Malone. The event marked the official start of the year-long celebration of the Opry’s milestone birthday, with many performances planned throughout the year.
Underwood, who rose to fame after winning “American Idol” in 2005, looked stunning in a one-shoulder black gown during the ceremony.
