Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood brought down the house during NBC’s Opry 100: A Live Celebration, delivering a performance that left the audience in awe.
The two country legends took the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage to perform “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia,” a song that remains a staple in Reba’s career, though she wasn’t the first to record it. Joined by fellow country stars like Eddie Montgomery, Scotty McCreery, and Carrie Underwood, the duo captivated the crowd with their storytelling and powerhouse vocals.
The song’s tale of betrayal and injustice came alive as the women took turns singing the verses before joining forces on the emotional chorus. Dressed to impress, Reba shimmered in a black bedazzled jacket and boots, while Trisha looked elegant in a striped floor-length dress. Their chemistry was undeniable, and their voices blended perfectly as they sang the haunting lines:
“That’s the night that the lights went out in Georgia,
That’s the night that they hung an innocent man…”
In addition to their performance, the event featured touching tributes to other country icons like Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn, with Reba honoring the legendary women and Trisha teaming up with Garth Brooks to pay homage to George Jones and Tammy Wynette.
The Opry 100: A Live Celebration was a star-studded tribute to the Grand Ole Opry’s 100th anniversary, filled with unforgettable performances that celebrated the rich history and ongoing influence of country music. Reba will join Trisha again on March 24 for another special moment, as Trisha is inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What a night for country music!
