As part of the celebration surrounding the 100th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry, Luke Combs reflected on his history with the iconic institution. The country superstar recalled his first unsuccessful attempt to attend an Opry show during a college spring break trip to see Ashley Monroe perform. His college roommate’s car issues derailed their plans and they ended up missing the performance, but Combs connected with Monroe on Twitter to share that he sadly missed her set. “She responded and told me she was doing a signing after the show,” Combs shared. “So I went over and got my album signed. I still have it to this day.” Combs also shared a bold statement he made to Monroe that night. “I told her, ‘One day, I’m going to play the Opry, and I’m going to play with you,’” Combs recalled. “Years later, I actually got to tell her that story for the first time in Maui at the BMI Songwriters Festival, where we were playing together. It was a full-circle moment.” (All Country News)
