Carrie Underwood delivered a powerful and emotional moment at the Grand Ole Opry 100: A Live Celebration on Wednesday night — and country music fans are still talking about it.
Underwood took the stage to honor country legend Randy Travis, performing two of his most beloved songs: Three Wooden Crosses and Forever and Ever, Amen. But it was what happened at the end that stole the show and touched hearts around the world.
As she finished singing Forever and Ever, Amen, Carrie walked over to where Randy Travis sat watching with a smile. She handed him the microphone so he could sing the final “Amen” — a moment that left the entire Opry House in tears and drew a standing ovation.
The touching scene quickly spread across social media, with fans calling it one of the most beautiful tributes ever seen on the Opry stage.
Randy Travis, who suffered a near-fatal stroke in 2013, has rarely performed publicly since. But on this night, with Carrie by his side, he reminded everyone why he remains one of country music’s most beloved voices.
Moments like this remind us what country music is all about — respect, tradition, and love.
