Elizabeth Nichols made her Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday night (Nov. 1).

“I absolutely LOVE the Opry. Making my debut, it felt like my wedding day, I was so excited. Having so many of my family members there to share it with me made it extra special,” shares Nichols. “It meant a lot to also have my mom’s side of the family in the audience, so I wanted to honor her and them. Performing an emotional song like ‘Birthday Candles,’ for the first time ever was a little risky on such an emotional day, but I’m so glad I did—it made the night that much more meaningful. It was a moment I’ll never forget.”

Surrounded by family who traveled to Nashville for the occasion, Nichols kicked off with her viral breakout track, “I Got A New One.” She also performed an unreleased song titled “Birthday Candles,” a tribute to her late mother who passed away when Nichols was 11. In honor of her mother, who was a former Miss Texas and gown designer, she took the Opry stage wearing a bright pink, floor-length pageant-style sequin dress.

Nichols released her debut EP, Tough Love in June and followed it with two new releases, “Daughter” “Little Birds.” She wrapped up her run as support for Wyatt Flores’ “Welcome Back To The Plains Tour” earlier this year.
