Ashley McBryde Surprised By Garth Brooks With Invite To Join The Opry
Garth Brooks surprised Ashley McBryde yesterday on “CBS Mornings” with an invite to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
He had called into the show over video from the Opry.
“It’s the longest living family in music history. You belong in it. We need you. You’ll make it stronger for decades to come.”
Of course, Ashley accepted.
“This is a lifelong…this is, I mean, there’s Grammys and there’s being a member of the Grand Ole Opry are the two greatest things that could ever happen to you as an entertainer. I’ve always said I will earn it and this is a pretty surreal moment.”
Ashley joins a list of 70 other members that includes Dolly Parton, Darius Rucker, Vince Gill, Carrie Underwood, and, of course, Loretta Lynn.
