ICYMI: Drew Baldridge Takes Over SLN’s Instagram for Opry Debut

It was Drew Baldridge’s debut at the Grand Ole Opry last night, so he decided to do a little Instagram takeover to document the momentous occasion on the SLN account! Throughout the night, Baldridge posted numerous pictures of his experience, from walking into the artist entrance to stepping into the Circle for the first time.

One of the greatest pictures and moments of the night was when Baldridge’s biggest hero in country music, Josh Turner, surprised him on stage during his cover of Turner’s “Your Man.” Without having any clue or hint at what was about to happen, Turner popped up at the iconic venue and left Baldridge in disbelief. This clip, like the pictures, makes anyone get goosebumps over how special of a moment the night was for Baldridge.

Check out Baldridge’s Instagram takeover below. His brand new album, Dirt On Us, is available for purchase HERE.
