Grand Ole Opry

"It’s still amazing that I get to be on this stage," she told fans.

Walmart Boy's bucket list keeps shrinking.

In those days, he was just another aspiring country singer looking for his big break.

Oh how we have missed her!

There was a moment during her Opry debut that is symbolic of how far she's come ... and how far she still has to go.

"How do you not cry on a night like this?"

Of course she had to call her mama when she found out.
