“The Artists Are Fans Too”: Carrie Underwood Flashes Alan Jackson Memento at Grand Ole Opry 100th Anniversary Special

Holding such an important role in country music, the entire genre took over Nashville on Wednesday night to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry. Although country music continues to evolve with each passing decade, every legendary singer who shared a love for the genre remembered what it was like to perform at the historic venue. And when it came to the Opry 100: A Live Celebration, the venue welcomed over 40 artists to the stage to perform, with one of them being Alan Jackson. While performing his hit song “Chattahoochee”, cameras caught Carrie Underwood flashing a special memento from Jackson himself.

With the Opry packed with fans, stars, and country singers, Jackson felt right at home when taking fans back to the 90s with his hit song. While Jackson turned 66 last October, age appeared nothing but a number to the singer as he commanded the stage. Getting the audience on their feet, the cameras made their way to Underwood, who danced to the song. But seeing the camera, she quickly flashed a guitar pick and said, “That’s Alan Jackson.”

While the Opry posted their own video of the performance, cameras once again caught Underwood, who mouthed every word with Jackson. Online, fans loved every second, writing, “Wow sent me back to high school with that performance amazingly talented wish he would put out another album.” Another person added, “Love him!!! He is one of the best!!!! I have seen him in 3 concerts. He a legend!!”
