At 7 p.m. (Nashville time) Carrie came out on the stage with a bang! She sung LN so brilliantly! You could tell she was going to be on fire tonight! It just felt right! She then headed off the stage and 5 Dierks Bentley songs and a few other singers later Carrie comes back out to sing AAG! She knocked it out the park with that one! The sound in the Grand Ole Opry house is amazing! She hit every note and sung from the heart as she always does! After AAG was the BIG MOMENT! I knew it was coming when I heard the announcer give Pete his introduction! Pete was very nice and said great things about Carrie as you all saw and heard! The instant he said Garth's name the crowd who was already roaring and excited multiplied with their excitement! It was so great to be there live to witness it! Carrie was so humble and gracious with receiving the award! She was so cute with her trophy! I loved how she put her finger up like wait a minute and then kissed it! I thought her speech was magnificent and it came from the heart! I was literally fighting the tears from coming! It was a very touching moment and I am so glad that as a die hard fan I was there to see it live! Seeing the JTTW duet with Vince Gill was amazing too! I just love that man! He has such love and respect towards Carrie and it truly shows! With that and some other singers the first show was over! Everyone seemed so happy to have Carrie be apart of the Opry family! All the comments and love she received from the other performers that night were so nice and truly sincere!
I really enjoyed the second show! I am so glad that Jen, Perry, Ed, and myself decided to buy tickets for it! Carrie again was on fire and came out singing LN! Vince had talked with her about her feelings toward being just inducted and Carrie put it so brilliantly! She truly does "get it" as Garth had said! The square dancing with Vince was just hysterical! Carrie and him had me dying laughing! She seemed to be on cloud nine that night, which she should have been! She is so well deserving of everything that has happened to her! She really is and I am certainly so happy to be a fan! I just wanted to thank Jen, Perry, Ed, and Matt for a great weekend! I am glad that I got to spend it with you guys and meeting everyone from here was truly so great!
Thanks for reading and God Bless,
