Brit Taylor Makes Grand Ole Opry Debut

Brit Taylor made her Grand Ole Opry debut on March 22.

Taylor’s blue chrome floor-length dress with bell sleeves custom-designed by Nashville-based designer Paige Moore served as her salute to Women’s History Month and to supporting local small businesses as she sang “Kentucky Blue,” the title track of her newest album, followed by “Rich Little Girls,” a semi-autobiographical, upbeat anthem to working women.

The Hindman, Kentucky native received the invitation to debut on the Opry the same day her album Kentucky Blue was released.

“I am always asked about the coolest or most special thing that has happened to me since I moved to Nashville,” said Taylor. “There has been a lot, so it has always been a tough question to answer. Not anymore!  Singing on the Grand Ole Opry is by far my greatest achievement to date.

“I was surrounded by my family and friends, and I got to share the stage with my biggest champion, my husband Adam Chaffins,” she continued. “I was standing side stage, just waiting, and I was feeling all the nerves creep in. My heart was pounding as they were just about to announce my name. Then I saw my husband standing on the stage with his stand-up bass, and he mouthed ‘I love you’ and the fears all faded away. I heard my name announced, and I walked out on stage, ready to sing. Hearing my name introduced, walking out on that stage with all the lights and stepping into that circle was one of the most magical nights of my life.”
