Idol Meets The Opry

March 17th, 2009

This week is Grand Ole Opry week on American Idol! To celebrate, Opry members Carrie Underwood, Randy Travis, and Brad Paisley will perform on the show.

Carrie and Randy will come together to sing “I Told You So.” The song is Carrie’s current single, but was originally made popular by Randy Travis 20 years ago. Carrie’s version of “I Told You So” is making its way up the charts and currently sits at No.12 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart.

“I am so excited that two of my musical passions, American Idol and the Grand Ole Opry, are joining together to create a really special week of music,” says Carrie. “I am always thrilled to return to the Idol stage, and am so proud to this time be bringing with me one of my heroes, Randy Travis. I knew the Opry first, but Idol gave me my start and helped lead me to the Opry stage. It’s a great feeling to be able to help bring these two worlds together.”

Brad Paisley will debut his brand new single titled “Then” from his upcoming album American Saturday Night which will hit stores on June 30th. The song will be made available for digital download this week as well.

These Grand Ole Opry episodes air on FOX tonight at 8/7c and tomorrow at 9/8c.
