Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley will step into the circle together Sept. 5 to perform during the Grand Ole Opry’s 4,941st consecutive Saturday night broadcast.
Paisley, who recently released the single “No I In Beer,” and Underwood, whose first Christmas album (“My Gift”) will release globally Sept. 25, have been friends since touring together early in Underwood’s career. The multi-award-winning superstars went on to an 11-year run as one of the most popular and successful hosting duos in CMA Awards history.
Live audience shows have been paused at the Opry since mid-March because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but Opry members and special guest artists have kept the music playing. Paisley has been an Opry member since 2001, and Underwood has been an Opry member since 2008.
