‘The Voice’ Star Ruby Leigh Set to Make Her Grand Ole Opry Debut

Ruby Leigh made a name for herself on The Voice. However, that was not the beginning or end of her musical journey. Instead, it was another step on the road to where she wants to be. At the same time, the exposure provided by the show allowed her already budding career to grow by leaps and bounds. Yesterday (April 26), Leigh announced that she’ll be taking another monumental step on the road to stardom. She’ll make her Grand Ole Opry debut later this year.

Leigh took to Instagram to share the big news with her fans and followers yesterday in a hilarious video. Putting her sense of humor on full display, a friend recorded her as she approached the front doors of the Opry House and began banging on them. “Let me play,” she yelled while pounding on the door. “Please, I just want a show.”

The first portion of the video is funny. However, those who stick around until the end of the clip will see her reaction to receiving the news.
