Reba McEntire Surprises Lainey Wilson With Grand Ole Opry Invitation on ‘The Voice’ Finale


Lainey Wilson got a whole lot more than she bargained for when she performed live on NBC's singing contest.

Lainey Wilson ‘s lifelong dream came true when The Voice mentor Reba McEntire invited her to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. “Lainey, I’m so proud of you,” McEntire remarked, after Wilson, Billboard’s recent cover star, performed her new single “Hang Tight Honey”.
