It's official: this year's hottest chart-climbers and tour-rulers.

We all have that one thing we did that we kept from mom.

In fact, the country star explains, she hopes she never gets used to the magic of being onstage.

Vote!

The singer explains why she's excited to be part of the younger generation of Grand Ole Opry members.

However, a lot of those nerves went away after the first night sold out.

What a moment!

She had Carrie Underwood by her side!

Reunited and it feels so good!

Ballerini was all smiles and happy tears for her official entry into the hallowed institution.

These fans are DEDICATED!

Evans and Ballerini don't have any immediate plans to tour together -- but give it time.
