Dolly Parton Surprises Carly Pearce with Grand Ole Opry Membership Invitation
BIG MACHINE RECORDS artist CARLY PEARCE received the surprise of her life late last week when DOLLY PARTON invited her to become a member of the GRAND OLE OPRY. When the invitation was extended, PEARCE believed she was taping a promotion for the DOLLYWOOD theme park, where she got her start. As she took her mark for the shoot, PARTON walked in, and started talking about how PEARCE had played the OPRY more than 80 times, joking, “You’d think they’d make you a member.” PARTON then cracked a big smile, and said, “And they are! They’re asking you to become a member of the GRAND OLE OPRY!”
