Carrie Underwood is the latest member of the Grand Ole Opry. The vocalist joined the cast of the long running country music show Saturday. Garth Brooks directed her official induction and Vince Gill sang a duet with her.
The previous "American Idol" winner sold 7 million copies of her debut album "Some Hearts" and sprang to stardom almost overnight with hits including "Before He Cheats" and "Jesus, Take the Wheel."
Opry executives say musicians are asked to join based on their dedication to the show, as measured by the frequency of their guest appearances, and their overall involvement with country music.
