Lady A Invited To Be Grand Ole Opry Members
Lady A was surprised with an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry during the group’s performance taping for the upcoming two-hour NBC special, “Grand Ole Opry: 95 Years of Country Music” airing February 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Grand Ole Opry member Darius Rucker extended the invitation to Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood of Lady A on the Opry stage and announced their membership is effective immediately. The invitation and the group’s first performance as an Opry member will be shared with fans and viewers everywhere as very special moments during the television special.
Darius said, “What can you say about three friends of yours who together have become one of the biggest groups in country music history? Well, how about this? This trio are multi-platinum superstars, seven-time Grammy Award winners and seven-time CMA Award winners too. And I feel so honored to stand here in the Opry House and hope they accept the invitation I am thrilled to be offering them tonight. So, what do you say, Lady A? Would you like to become members of the Opry?”
Hillary Scott reacted saying, “This is the best surprise we could ever ask for. I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl so to say we are honored is an understatement. We are so truly grateful to officially be a part of this amazing family.”
Lady A made their Opry debut on November 2, 2007.
