    Jamey Johnson will become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. He was surprised with the invitation to join by Bill Anderson on March 19, 2022.

    "I don't know what to say except the obvious: I love country music," Johnson said. "I'd never moved here if it hadn't of been for country music, if it hadn't of been for the Grand Ole Opry keepin' it alive all these years. If it hadn't of been for fans like y'all listening to what we do. Thank you. I love you."
