Dolly Parton Walks In and...Nope, We’re Not Crying

Carly Pearce is set to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. In a scenario that the country singer calls "even better than you dare to dream," Dolly Parton surprised Pearce on June 17 to ask her to join the country music institution.

In a video the Grand Ole Opry posted online, Pearce believes she is giving an interview to promote Dollywood. She's in the middle of sharing her earliest memory of Parton's theme park in Tennessee when Parton herself walks in from the wings, causing the singer to burst out emotionally — especially when her hero says, "I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you."

Parton shares that Pearce began singing at Dollywood when she was a teenager. She notes that Pearce has already performed on the Grand Ole Opry 80 times, adding, "You should be a member of the Grand Ole Opry! What's the matter with them?"

When Pearce replies, "I agree," Parton has one more huge surprise for her.

"I came here today to tell you, you are now an official member of the Grand Ole Opry," she says, causing Pearce to double over, sobbing and laughing at the same time.
