Brad Paisley Invites Sarah Darling to Opry, Perform ‘Whiskey Lullaby’

Friday night (7/18), on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, country superstar and Opry member Brad Paisley and former “Rising Star” contestant Sarah Darling performed Paisley’s hit “Whiskey Lullaby.” This was the fulfillment of the invitation he extended to Darling last week during the live broadcast of ABC’s new hit singing competition “Rising Star” after she was eliminated from the show by just a fraction of a percentage in the votes.

Paisley introduced Darling before the performance, saying “Welcome home – back to the place you belong, Nashville, Tenn.”

Darling responded, “There’s no place like home.”

Tune in for “Rising Star” on ABC, Sunday evenings through August 24, 9:00pm ET.
