Trisha Yearwood invites Lauren Alaina to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry

[@kimenglish3333]

I was at this show. Well deserved!! I have enjoyed watching this beautuful lady sing for 17 years now. Love her!!

[@A.R.B.J.]

That's a memory you'll never forget.

[@kimenglish3333]

@@A.R.B.J. We have a lot of Lauren memories. Love that girl. She worked with my special needs daughter when they were in Middle school together. She even flew us out to see her on American Idol. I have some great videos of her on my channel.

[@SapphireBoy26]

I’m so proud of Lauren. I’ve been following her career since her days on Idol. A friend of mine - at the time - was a friend of hers, and she told me to look out for Lauren on that upcoming season of American Idol. Who would have thought she’d end up finishing second place, let alone have an illustrious career in Country music, leading to this huge honor? Good job, Lauren. 😃

I can’t count how many times I have watched this video in the last few days. It’s so amazing!! It just makes me happy to watch. Edit: It’s been 10 months and it’s still one of my favorite videos on the internet. I love this!! Edit: 2 years and it’s still true. Epic moment!

Omg....Im crying ALL over again! I am so freaking proud of you!! (I'm an Alumni Ridgeland high school choir member by the way-c/o 97...yes a bit older than you but grew up singing karaoke just like you in a little bar in East Ridge😉...And I have literally watched you grow up!) This is the most monumental thing that I have seen in the past year of my life and I am so so excited and happy for you and you deserve every single moment you get during your career! Girl you EARNED this right here! So proud!!!

[@gretacarter3498]

Congrats Lauren !! You totally deserve this !! Celebrate like no one’s watching !!!

[@cntrygirl7622]

I just love these. These artists are so deserving. And Trish Yearwood is right, it is like a wedding proposal.

[@muziklvrnfl2835]

I absolutely love Lauren, her voice, her personality, her songs that she writes and sangs, that's not a typo, she don't sing, she sangs, she's pretty as can be and she's the real deal, just like Trisha Yearwood said. This video had my eyes welling up with tears, it was such a touching moment, I've loved Lauren's voice from the first time I saw her on AI. Congrats to her and a side note, I love her song "It Was Me" (which I related to and fell in love with the very first time I heard it) so much that it was the song I've listened to the most in 2021, like over 800 times.

Congratulations Lauren! Other than the invitation the best thing about this video is its normality. They are hugging she's snorting on her hand and hugging Trisha (while still yuck totally warented since no one gave her a tissue) and there's no look of disgust on Trishas face she embraces Lauren, no sign of covid what so ever. Tiny glimpses of normal is what we need.

Probably they were tested negative before performing on stage. Usually that's what they do.

[@brianh1485]

Big deal! Being a member of the Grand ole opry doesn't mean that much anymore! I can remember when a Country singer had to work their a** off for years, tour around the country, if not the world, for years, have a lot of hits, and made their mark on Country music before they became a member of the Grand ole opry! Nowadays, anyone can be a member of the opry. It has lost its meaning, lost its luster.😐

[@AC-xj5bs]

Exactly. It’s like anyone can get in now a days. It’s not earned or prestigious any more to be inducted into Grand Ole Opry. Every year it’s a new country singer that really has not done much gets in. They didn’t even let Elvis into Opry. All these Awards and inductions are worthless.

How do you know he wasn't asked? Maybe he said no! Not every singer can accept. There is a requirement that they perform a certain number of times every year at the Opry. Some artists are just not able to commit to that.
