WATCH! Laci Kaye Booth Invited to Make Grand Ole Opry Debut in an Unforgettable Moment with Parker McCollum
Country music fans, mark your calendars—Laci Kaye Booth is set to make her Grand Ole Opry® debut on March 29! The Texas-raised songstress, known for her dreamy vocals and heartfelt storytelling, received the surprise of a lifetime on February 22, when Parker McCollum himself invited her to step onto country music’s most sacred stage.
The magic unfolded at the Alliant Energy Powerhouse in Cedar Rapids, IA, where Booth had just wrapped up her opening set for McCollum’s "What Kinda Man" arena tour. The sold-out crowd was already buzzing when Parker called Laci back onstage to perform her poignant track, The Loneliest Girl In The World, as a duet. But what happened next was pure country music history in the making—McCollum turned to Booth and shared the incredible news: she had officially been invited to make her Opry debut. The shock, joy, and overwhelming emotion on her face said it all.

“I’m so incredibly grateful and honored,” Booth shared. “I’ve waited six years in Nashville, and my whole life before that, for this very moment. I can’t believe it’s here. What a beautiful experience, made even more special by one of my favorite artists and Texans, Parker McCollum.”
A true rising star in Music City, Booth’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Raised in a barn in Livingston, TX, she started writing songs at just nine years old, her passion for music as natural as the Texas air she breathed. Since then, she’s carved her path with a sound that blends classic country with modern edge, earning a spot as one of CMT’s “Next Women of Country.” Over the past year, she’s been burning up the road, performing alongside artists like Flatland Cavalry, Kameron Marlowe, and, of course, Parker McCollum.
With her debut album, The Loneliest Girl In The World, already making waves and an Opry debut on the horizon, this is just the beginning for Booth. One thing’s for sure—March 29 is going to be a night to remember in the hallowed circle of the Grand Ole Opry, and country music fans won’t want to miss it!
