The star performed during the special evening and collaborated with each member of the all-female guest cast personally chosen by Yearwood, consisting of friends Suzy Bogguss, Terri Clark and Pam Tillis. 

“Tonight is special because I asked my girlfriends to come out and sing. I’m so excited to perform with them,” she said during her performance. “The thing about the Opry is this family is always here. Even the members who have passed on; they’re with you. When you are standing in that circle nervous—and this is the only stage I get nervous on because of the history—the circle is like ‘we got you.’”

Highlights of Yearwood’s 25th Anniversary will air on March 30 on Opry Live. Fans can watch on the Opry Facebook and YouTube channels, stream free on the Circle Now app, or tune in via Circle country digital streaming partners.

Yearwood was inducted into the Opry family on March 13, 1999 by legendary Opry member Porter Wagoner, who said during the moment, “She’s the best I’ve ever heard.”
