Being invited to join the Grand Ole Opry is a huge deal. When that invitation is delivered by Garth Brooks, well . . . Merry Christmas, Scotty McCreery. That was his early present at the Opry Country Christmas Show on Sunday.
Garth surprised him with a large box decorated with gold wrapping paper and a huge red bow. He told him there’s a card inside that he signed . . . and eventually admitted that it’s an invitation to join the Opry.
They joked around a bit, and then Garth got official, and said, quote, “On behalf of the Grand Ole Opry, we would love for Scotty McCreery to be the newest member.” After the applause died down Scotty said, “Yes, I would love to.”
Scotty’s induction date will be announced in the coming weeks. (You can watch the whole thing, here.)
