Seventeen-year Grand Ole Opry member Carrie Underwood unveiled a custom rhinestone-adorned microphone stand during her fan club party at the Opry House on Tuesday afternoon, coinciding with the second anniversary of her SiriusXM channel, CARRIE’S COUNTRY. Later that evening, Underwood introduced the specially designed mic stand during her performances in both sold-out Opry shows.
Commissioned exclusively for the Opry's 100th year, the stand features sparkling rhinestones marking the Opry's ‘rhinestone milestone' and will be used for special performances throughout the centennial celebration.
During the two-show Tuesday night Opry kicking off CMA Fest, Underwood also surprised the audience by joining Ben Fuller during his set for their duet of ‘If It Was Up To Me.' The eight-time Grammy winner was inducted into the Opry family on May 10, 2008.
Starting Thursday through Sunday this week, the Opry 100 Rhinestone mic stand will be at the Grand Ole Opry booth at CMA Fest in downtown Nashville. The Opry booth is located in Fan Alley near 1st Ave & Broadway. Fans can stop by and get a 360-degree “glam cam” photo moment with the specially designed mic stand.
Artists scheduled to appear at the Grand Ole Opry this week include Bill Anderson, Maddox Batson, Colbie Caillat, Steven Curtis Chapman, Sara Evans, Jelly Roll, Brandon Lake, Scotty McCreery, Chrissy Metz, Justin Moore, Lorrie Morgan, Old Crow Medicine Show, Mitchell Tenpenny, Mark Wills, and more.
