After winning over millions of fans with their standout America’s Got Talent (AGT) audition, rising country trio Chapel Hart caught the attention of legends like Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn. Now, they have been invited to perform on country music’s most famous stage – the Grand Ole Opry.
Following the trio’s performance of “You Can Have Him Jolene” on AGT, they were surprised with an invitation to make their Opry debut.
“Ya know what would be the icing on this triple layer German chocolate cake of a day? If the @opry invited us to sing there,” Chapel Hart wrote on Instagram.

The Opry was quick to respond and more than delivered with a photo of a German Chocolate Cake inside the iconic Opry circle. The date August 20th with a question mark was written on the cake.
“Triple layer? Opry Debut August 20th?,” the Grand Ole Opry responded.
Chapel Hart was blown away by the invitation.
“IS THIS REAL LIFE?!?! We graciously accept…as soon as we pick our jaws up off of the floor,” they wrote.
