Carrie Underwood is a regular on the hallowed stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, and in a new article, she opens up about an unexpected encounter with a country legend that took place backstage. The superstar says “it definitely caught me off guard” when one of country music’s all-time icons walked by and smacked her on the backside.
“I was talking to Vince Gill,” she recalls to People, pausing to joke about her casual name-dropping, “and somebody walked by me and smacked my rear.”
“It definitely caught me off guard for a second,” Underwood admits, adding, “and then I turned around, and that was my first time meeting Ms. Loretta Lynn!”
Underwood shared the hilarious recollection as part of a retrospective People published about the Opry turning 95 in October of 2020.
