Ashley McBryde Invited to be Newest Grand Ole Opry Member

While on CBS Mornings in New York City, Ashley McBryde got a surprise message from Garth Brooks asking her if she'd like to be the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry.

“It would be the great joy and the great honor of my life,” McBryde responded. “There’s the GRAMMYs and there’s being a member of the Grand Ole Opry – they are the two greatest things that can happen to you as an entertainer. I’ve always said I will earn it, and this is a pretty surreal moment.”

The moment comes right after the Arkansas native released her fourth studio LP, Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville. The record has already achieved mass critical acclaim.

McBryde's induction into the Grand Ole Opry will be revealed at a later date.
