Carrie Underwood moved the crowd at the 100th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry on Wednesday night. 

Underwood took the stage at the event, titled Opry 100: A Live Celebration, to honor Randy Travis, who welcomed her to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry 17 years ago in 2008.

Underwood kicked off her tribute to Travis by sharing a story about her childhood. She said that her sister had a cassette tape of Travis’ and once she got her hands on it, she “never” gave it back to her.

Five years after that, Travis had a stroke that made him nearly unable to sing.

On Wednesday night, Underwood performed Travis’ “Three Wooden Crosses” and “Forever and Ever, Amen.”

At the end of “Forever and Ever, Amen,” Underwood walked over to Travis in the crowd and gave him the microphone to sing the closing, “Amen,” which moved the crowd to tears. 

“Randy Travis everybody.”

“Randy Travis everybody,” Underwood said, before hugging the country music legend. The crowd immediately stood to their feet and gave Underwood and Travis a standing ovation. 

Fans took to social media to weigh in on the moving performance.

“IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE,” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, while including a clip of Underwood and Travis’ moment.

A third added, “Wow . Tears everywhere as Randy Travis closes with Carrie Underwood.”

The Grand Ole Opry shared a post about Travis inducting Underwood into the family 17 years ago.

“We’ll never forget the moment Randy invited Carrie into the family,” the account wrote, including a photo from 2008. 

Underwood rose to fame after winning “American Idol” in 2005. Her debut album, “Some Hearts,” was released that same year and included the hit “Before He Cheats.”

Country superstar Blake Shelton hosted the event, titled the “Opry 100: A Live Celebration,” on March 19, airing on NBC.

The official 100th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry is in November, and the country music house will be celebrating all year long.

Underwood attended the country music ceremony in a lavish, one-shoulder black gown. The bottom of the dress was sheer and had a dramatic train.

The country music ceremony also included performances by Jelly Roll, Reba McEntire, Post Malone, Trace Adkins, Lainey Wilson and Kelsea Ballerini.
