Country music fans left in floods of tears over Carrie Underwood’s surprise gesture at Opry 100

Country music fans were left in floods of tears over Carrie Underwood’s surprise gesture while performing at Opry 100: A Live Celebration in Nashville, TN on Wednesday.

The 42-year-old country crooner paid tribute to her mentor Randy Travis by singing two of his songs -Three Wooden Crosses and Forever and Ever, Amen – which she concluded by serenading him in the crowd at Grand Ole Opry’s Ryman Auditorium.

Carrie suddenly held the microphone to the 65-year-old country vet’s face and he sang the final ‘Amen,’ which made the crowd stand up for an impromptu ovation during the telecast that aired live on NBC/Peacock.

Randy’s ability to communicate was severely affected by his aphasia diagnosis after suffering a near-fatal stroke in 2013.

Underwood then leaned in for a hug from Travis, who was beaming with pride over his former pupil’s powerful three-octave soprano pipes.

17 years earlier, the six-time Grammy winner surprised the eight-time Grammy winner on that same stage by inviting her to be inducted ‘into the family.’
