Country music's most famous show was jamming last night during one of country music's most exciting weeks--CMA Music Festival--as the Grand Ole Opry hosted two sold-out, star-studded shows with performances by Season 4 American Idol Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, Martina McBride, Darius Rucker, Oak Ridge Boys, Jimmy Dickens, Bill Anderson, and Jerrod Niemann.
During the first of two shows, Opry member Carrie Underwood introduced the newest American Idol winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina on stage. The Top 2 made a special surprise Opry trip to visit Carrie before they make their Opry performance debuts this Fri., June 10, exactly six years since Carrie's debut. Earlier in her set, Carrie performed the Mel McDaniel hit "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On." McDaniel, who passed away earlier this year, was from Checotah, Oklahoma, the same hometown as Carrie!
Backstage during the evening, Nan Kelley, host of GAC's "Top 20" was on hand to talk to the artists about the Opry and CMA Music Festival. Fans can catch the show this Friday, June 10, 8p.m. EST.
