You know what's so great about this? What Carrie said to Kelsea is very, very similar to what Garth Brooks said to her when he inducted her. She is paying it forward. That is so awesome and beautiful!
As a huge fan ever since, Seeing my Carrie inducting new artists and her now , considered as a Living Legend , Icon and Veteran just makes my heart full and happy 😭❤️ this was her 10 years ago.
A huge congratulations to Kelsea Ballerini for being inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, I’ll see her this Friday when she stops by at my hometown of St. Augustine, Florida as a tour stop!
Did y’all see Carrie waving her hand when she was announced and entered the stage?She was saying No No folks I love the applause but this is Kelsea’s night to shine and I’m honored to be here to induct her and Kelsea bowing to her.Carrie was so modest about that but she praised Kelsea so eloquently and then later their duet together was proof they really need to do a duet together
To everyone that is making comments stating that Kelsea has been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry far too soon, you may not feel that it is her time to be on this stage, but God is ready for her to be on this stage. She is exactly where she is meant to be. Always remember that everything in our lives takes place in God's timing not ours.
God is not on the Opry selection committee. But Kelsea is a pretty and talented young blonde girl who is very popular right now and will draw lots of viewers. That's the real reason most of these young performers are getting inducted over the veterans.
WOW, so she got inducted into the Opry 4 years after her debut! I thought those 2 events were one and the same but they’re not. You really have to earn your induction into the Opry!
@@tinafansavga .. there's a lot of artists who are invited to join but turn them down. To be a Grand Ole Opry member you have to commit to a certain number of performances every year. Some performers just can't do that. Matter of fact unless you actually live in Nashville it's almost impossible
You can tell how embarrassed Carrie is, by the high praise Kelsea was giving Carrie. Whether Carrie likes it or not, Carrie is a mentor to young artists both male and female alike.
Carrie Underwood and her Drama......What a introduction. Kelsea you are who radio do play. They like the Teeny Boppers putting out the Pop Music. Can we soon see her as a regular atThe Ole Red
People wonder why Carrie didn't take Kelsea as an opening act for one of her tours. Simple, Carrie knew that Kelsea was dubbed the next Carrie Underwood type singer. Carrie didn't want Kelsea to endure that much pressure as an opening act. Plus Carrie knew Kelsea idolize Carrie.
@@christopherolvera2264 Hank Williams; Johnny Cash; Tanya Tucker all we're kicked out of the Opry. Tanya was because she wasn't consider country enough. Which is funny cause she was allowed back. Cash for kicking out foot lights and his party habits. Williams for his drinking habits.
@@codydisney9959 Please provide facts because if you look up Tanya tucker she is mentioned as an artist of the grand ole opry and is listed on their page at opry.com. So you need to get FACTS and not make up your own. Johnny cash was drunk and kicked all the bulbs off the Opry stage and that is why he wasn't in the Opry. Hank Williams had no-showed the Opry several times which is why he was not in the Opry. SOOOO educate yourself
Many artist such as George Strait and Miranda Lambert are not members because they are unable to make the commitment. Membership requires the commitment to perform a minimum number of shows a year (something like 26) at the Opry, among other things. George lives in Texas which makes it hard for him to commit to showing up to perform at least every other week. The Opry won't do a public invite unless they are sure the artist is able and willing to make the commitment. Being a member of the Opry isn't a joke, it's an honor that requires a big commitment and love for the home of country music. They don't want a member who is never going to show up and perform.
@@PlumbPitiful I'm guessing they lowered it because it would be near impossible for most artists to commit to that many unless they actually lived in Nashville and didn't tour.
I like Kelsea but to induct her before Miranda Lambert and so many other greats that are still waiting for their turn is mind boggling. It makes you wonder what their criteria is for choosing someone like Kelsea who only came on the scene a few years ago. I was wondering the same when Carrie was inducted back 2008. As much as I love Carrie, I thought of all other country singers who have spent 15-20 years singing country and making hits should have been chosen instead. I think Carrie definately deserves it 13 years into her career, but back in 2008 she was very new to country stardom. Just saying
It has to be a combination of all the things mentioned. The elements of the commitment especially, along with the potential inductee's true personal behavior, and what the invitation really means to them. Seems the folks who get skipped have issues that just don't measure up to Grand Ole Opry standards, for reasons the general fan base may never know.
I gotta be honest I'm extremely surprised Kelsea Ballerini is being inducted into the Grand Ole Opry when she has only been around barely 5 years give or take if that. She is also not that good of a singer without the autotuner & vocalizer. 3 years ago give or take she was on ABC CMA Country CHRISTmas special, the first time she was on there, & apparently they didn't use the autotuner or vocalizer for her & she sounded horrifically terrible. Really good singers sound the same or just as good without the autotuner & vocalizer as they do with it. When she sings without the autotuner & vocalizer there is a major difference & her singing is terrible without it. I know there will be some negative feedback but I don't care. I'm just being honest. I was a local DJ in a small town for a few years & as part of my rig/set up I had an autotuner & vocalizer & they make a major difference, they can make or break a singer.
Dude she had 4 number ones on one album last person to do that was Carrie can u do that no if u dont believe ill name them 4 you 1. Love me like you mean it 2.yeah boy 3.dibs 4.peter pan All on her debut album just like someone else ohhhh yea Carrie stupid hater 😂👋👋
Dude i seen her live too she doesn't sound as bad saying u are everyone wants to scream autotune everytime they just dont like an artist its getting sad and pathetic tbh can u at least come up with a legetiment arguement 😂😂

It's hard to imagine that Carrie Underwood is now a veteran in Country music who is welcoming all the young talent following in her foot steps.
She supports a lot of country artists and is still so down to earth
You know what's so great about this? What Carrie said to Kelsea is very, very similar to what Garth Brooks said to her when he inducted her. She is paying it forward. That is so awesome and beautiful!
I didn't hear Garth Brooks' speech.
He said that she'd be honored with awards of all types but nothing will ever top being a member of the Opry.
Similar? She copied Garth's speech nearly word for word!
it was Randy Travis
@@PlumbPitiful nope
I love Carrie and this is her reassuring Kelsea she has a place. Absolutely lovely. Both talented ladies!
yes
Yea too bad she keeps getting robbed for awards I believe she should've won to me she's more country than the others she competes against these days
I don’t why but I actually started crying 😭 I wanna be up on that stage one day and be a member
Well, you better start signin'
This makes me feel old. I remember Carrie Underwood on American idol like it was yesterday
And 17 years later Carrie has won 180 music related awards who would have thought
As a huge fan ever since, Seeing my Carrie inducting new artists and her now , considered as a Living Legend , Icon and Veteran just makes my heart full and happy 😭❤️ this was her 10 years ago.
Yes, Finally this beautiful woman I still look up to is having years of joy rolling down her face as she hears Carrie say this to her

Ok..who else is in 😭 tears?
Both amazing artists! Love both of them
Two beautiful ladies right here. And I'm sure Carrie never forgot what Garth told her back in 2008.
Obviously she never forgot it because she's repeating it nearly word for word here to Kelsea!
@@PlumbPitiful We heard you already ok?Who cares if she repeated SOME of the same things what’s it to you
I love Kelsea so much, she's the real deal!

Talent got her on that stage
So awesome!❤️🇺🇸

Chills. Well deserved!
Congratulations Kelsea Ballerini.
Beautifully said
CONGRATS KELSEA!
Awesome
That's my KB!

Some people still haven’t been inducted and some wait a lifetime like Crystal Gayle

I seen Jesus Christ with these two . Merry Christmas.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉.
Good job baby love u❤
Hard to fathom that I still remember her as a naive 21 year old on AI 17 years ago
So is the Grand Old Opry like the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Country Music artists? If so, congratulations Kelsea!
Yeah pretty much. It's the most elite club in country music since it dates back to 1925
That is exactly what Garth Brooks said to her
cool
She did a collab with Chain smokers and carry it's your turn please
❤
♥️😊

The Grand Ol Opry isn't that big of a deal anymore and really hasn't been. When you look at the list of singers kicked out for various petty reasons.
Cody Disney wait people get kicked out????

Isn’t Grandel Opry for country singer not pop singers
She IS a country singer

George Strait was offered to be a member but he turned it down.
Wonder if he regrets that.

Lillian Eversole except k b didn’t break blakes heart
This nothing to do has with Miranda's private life. I believe she unwilling to make a certain number of appearances at the Opry.
It's a commitment. Nothing to do with how long or how famous an artist is.

Your kidding right? I can't even name a single song by her, she has hardly even left a mark on country music. Maybe in the future but not her time yet
