Carrie Underwood to Join Grand Ole Opry
NASHVILLE (Billboard)
Country superstar Carrie Underwood, who
once told Billboard that if she hadn't won American Idol in 2005, "I probably
wouldn't have pursued music much further at all," has been invited to join the
Grand Ole Opry.
The invitation was extended March 15 by Opry member Randy Travis, whose 1988
Billboard No. 1 single "I Told You So" Underwood covered on her most recent album, "Carnival
Ride."
Underwood, who celebrated her 25th birthday on March 10, made her Grand Ole Opry
debut on June 10, 2005, just two weeks after winning "American Idol." She will
be formally inducted as an Opry member on May 10.
