The Opry aired on Circle TV and SiriusXM as well as the Opry’s flagship home 650 WSM AM and wsmonline.com.
Underwood opened the show with her six-week #1 debut single “Jesus, Take The Wheel” and spoke of the honor she felt to be on the Opry stage and that the circle is still unbroken.

For me, as long as the Opry keeps going, I have hope!” The pair closed the show with “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”
