The Grand Ole Opry surprises Luke Combs with an invitation to be its next member

Chris Janson, Craig Morgan, and John Conlee surprised Luke Combs with the invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry during the iconic show’s Tuesday night performance.

The three appeared onstage just as Luke finished singing his latest number one, “She Got the Best of Me.”

“What a career this guy is having,” John started. “The Grand Ole Opry wants you to know we just love you.”

Then Chris and Craig continued, issuing the official invitation in unison: “How would you like to be the next member of the Grand Ole Opry?”

A visibly stunned Luke fought back tears and hugged the three Opry members before responding.

“Holy cow! Are you serious?” a stunned Luke asked. “‘Cause if you’re not serious, that’s really mean.”

Luke will officially join the cast of the historic show during an induction ceremony later this year.
