Lady A has just reached another career milestone. While taping a performance for the upcoming NBC special on the 95th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry, Darius Rucker came out to invite them to join the prestigious institution.

As you can imagine the band was shocked and excited, with Hillary Scott breaking out into tears, which was a bit of an issue since Lady A hadn’t performed their song yet. As Charles Kelley joked, “you couldn’t wait until after we sang.”

And the best part of it all – it was all caught on tape. Not only that, they don’t have to wait for their induction, the invitation is effective immediately.

“This is the best surprise we could ever ask for!! Today while filming for an upcoming @Opry special, @DariusRucker invited us to become the newest members of the Grand Ole Opry,” they write. “To say we are honored is an understatement. We are so grateful to be a part of this amazing family.”
