Brad Paisley

Most country singers have to wait years and years before they're invited to join the Grand Ole Opry,

Be still, my heart!

Dolly Parton, Kane Brown and Carrie Underwood are just a few of the acts you can catch during the two-hour special.

It all started at a Country Cares seminar ...

"We were summer young and livin' for a Friday / And freedom was a highway," Allen sings.

Two of the Opry's most beloved members are hosting this big night!

When a local performer lost everything in Nashville's Christmas Day explosion, Paisley stepped in with a special gift.

Turns out some country fans were NOT happy to see Taylor included in the mural.

The pair first met when Paisley was a teenager.

Songs about being a musician are often full of vulnerable truths and deep meaning ... and sometimes, they're just a whole lot of fun.
