Underwood was presented the Opry Member Award by fellow Oklahoman Garth Brooks. As she accepted her award, Underwood said, "I want to thank everybody at the Opry for having me as part of your family because it is such a great family to be a part of… it really means everything to me. I am so blessed." Underwood’s Opry debut came just two weeks after winning American Idol, on June 10, 2005. The Country Music star is currently headlining her Carnival Ride tour with guest Josh Turner. The Opry’s weekly live show can be seen on GAC, or heard on 650 WSM-AM, XM Satellite Radio, or at opry.com. Check CountryHound for the weekly Grand Ole Opry Line-up.
