After performing their hit “Hillbilly Bone” together on September 29, 2010, Trace Adkins took over the microphone to do something Shelton did not expect.
“Blake’s famous for the Twitter thing, you know, he’s always sending tweets,” he said. “Well, the Grand Ole Opry sent Blake a tweet tonight, look.”
“@blakeshelton, you’re invited to join the Grand Ole Opry! See you on 10/23/10,” the tweet read.
Shelton could not believe it! He gave Adkins a huge hug and thanked the crowd, after a few minutes of soaking it in.
