Since the announcement of her victory, the singer has been in a whirlwind of interviews and TV appearances, including a performance on The Today Show at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. Her next milestone will take place this Saturday, Aug. 16, when she makes her first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry to perform her debut single, "What If It All Goes Right." “Since I was 17 years old, I have been performing on the Opry circuit in Texas. To be acknowledged by the Grand Ole Opry and asked to perform is such an honor...this is more than I could have ever hoped for,” said Lawson. "What If It All Goes Right" hit No. 1 on the iTunes Country chart soon after its release, and it entered Billboard's "Hot Country Songs Chart" at No. 49 this week. Next, the mother of five will head into the studio to work on her forthcoming album after taking time off to spend with her family.
