Many of the performances see modern artists paying homage to those who came before them. For instance, tonight sees Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood taking the stage to honor George Jones and Tammy Wynette.<\/p>\n<p>Brooks and Yearwood are a modern country music power couple. Both have long successful careers and deep connections to the Opry. As a result, they were the perfect choice to take on a trio of hits to pay homage to Jones and Wynette. Unlike their predecessors, Yearwood and Brooks don\u2019t have a deep catalog of recorded duets. So, tonight\u2019s performance was a treat for fans across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Brooks kicked things off with a rendition of \u201cHe Stopped Loving Her Today.\u201d He opined that fate brought together the greatest voice in country music with the greatest country song ever written when Jones recorded the song. Then, Yearwood took the stage to perform \u201cYour Good Girl\u2019s Gonna Go Bad\u201d in honor of Wynette, the First Lady of Country Music.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Brooks and Yearwood came together to perform \u201cGolden Ring,\u201d the iconic duet recorded by Jones and Wynette in 1975.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Golden Rings Garth Brooks &amp; Trisha Yearwood 9-13-21 Grand Ole Opry House\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sxKgQAdFiyQ\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"350\" data-origheight=\"235\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Garth: He Stopped Loving Her Today\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4pfubXQyDUI\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"350\" data-origheight=\"235\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><ins id=\"982a9496-26bc9171b0e45c9d04cc54ea48c61ff6-5-4556\" class=\"982a9496\" data-key=\"26bc9171b0e45c9d04cc54ea48c61ff6\"><ins id=\"982a9496-26bc9171b0e45c9d04cc54ea48c61ff6-5-4556-1\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"sp_passback-mobileinpage_993\" data-id=\"sp_passback-mobileinpage_993\">\n<div class=\"sp-mobileinpage-google-ads sp-demand-div\" data-demand=\"google-ads\">\n<div class=\"nl-scroll-div\">\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/ins><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u201cXXXs and OOOs (An American Girl)\u201d Trisha Yearwood\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EGDoezE9VYA\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"350\" data-origheight=\"235\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-trisha-yearwood-and-garth-brooks-history-with-the-grand-ole-opry\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks\u2019 History with the Grand Ole Opry<\/h3>\n<p>Both Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks have long histories with the Grand Ole Opry. Yearwood made her Opry debut on Leap Day (February 29) in 1992. She became a member seven years later on March 13. 1999. Last year, she celebrated her 25<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0year as part of country music\u2019s longest-running institution with a night of great music featuring some of the genre\u2019s most powerful women. The night included Pam Tillis, Terri Clark, Suzy Bogguss, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Brooks was a member of the famed \u201cClass of \u201989,\u201d a group of artists that also included the likes of Clint Black and Alan Jackson who helped bring traditional country to the forefront of the \u201990s. He made his Opry debut in the summer of 1989. A little more than a year later, on October 6, 1990, he became a full-fledged member of the Opry family.<\/p>\n<p>While both Brooks and Yearwood have long tenures in the Grand Ole Opry and long, storied solo careers, they know the genre wouldn\u2019t be the same without the likes of George Jones and Tammy Wynette. As a result, they were the perfect pair to pay homage to the late great power couple during tonight\u2019s celebratory event.<\/p>\n<p>Watching the couple dig into George and Tammy\u2019s catalog while standing in the Circle was like watching the intersection of the past and present which is fitting for\u00a0<em>Opry 100: A Live Celebration<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight (March 19), the Grand Ole Opry is celebrating 100 years with an evening of performances from some of country music\u2019s brightest stars.
