Kelsea Ballerini’s childhood dream came true last night.  She was invited to be a member of the Grand Ol Opry!<

Absolutely unreal. I’ll post more when I have the words, but @opry I love you so much and you will forever be my family. https://t.co/9USPQDdf42

Well later she found the words to express her feelings saying on Instagram, /h1>”his has been at the very top of my bucket list since I wrote my first songs at 12 years old, and tonight the heart of country music wrapped their arms around me and asked me to be family. In tears over how much this means to me. Thank you thank you thank you.”

I don’t have the right words yet, but @littlebigtown just asked me to become the newest member of the @opry. This has been at the very top of my bucket list since I wrote my first songs at 12 years old, and tonight the heart of country music wrapped their arms around me and asked me to be family. In tears over how much this means to me. Thank you thank you thank you. 😭💕 // 📸 @johnshearer @gettyimages

Little Big Town invited her by SINGING the request!

She had a little fun with her candid reaction saying, “this is my “I just got asked to be the newest member of the Grand Ole @opry” face. Let the memes begin.”
