Blake Shelton- Opry Reflections - Backstage at the Opry
Blake Shelton just showed off a sentimental side that we don’t see very often – but a side we so very loveCountry music superstar Blake Shelton may be best known for his sense of humor and his love for whiskey, but what might just be the most endearing side of him isn’t shown very often…unless he finds himself at the Grand Ole Opry.
The long-standing musical institution certainly brings out the best of him. In a Rare Country exclusive video premiere, Shelton recently sat down for an “Opry Reflections” video to reminisce a bit on his career thus far.
“It’s always special to me to come back to the Opry,” Shelton said. “Every time I get to come back here and sing, it brings back all of these memories. I was only 17 when I moved here and I was cocky enough to think that I could be on the Opry. The odds of moving to this town, not knowing anyone and making it in country music…I mean, I won the lottery, and it keeps getting better.”
Shelton also took the time to rate his favorite Opry moments, including the nights in which he was invited and inducted into the famed institution.
“The greatest night was the night I was inducted five years ago,” Shelton said with a smile. “Having one of my best friends in the world (Trace Adkins) happen to be a member and that person inducts me…it just made it even better.”
