<p>Urban covered his face in surprise and said, </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what to say &#8211; but first, YES! Thank you very much to everyone at <a title="the Grand Ole Opry" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/the-grand-ole-opry/">the Grand Ole Opry</a> who made this possible. I&#8217;m shocked.

<blockquote><p>&#8220;I will always remember the first time I played <a title="the Opry" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/category/the-grand-ole-opry/">the Opry</a>. Seeing this stand and standing in the circle was an extraordinary surreal moment. So this right here is just a whole other stratosphere! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!&#8221; -Urban</p></blockquote>
