Blake Shelton surprised Team Blake alumni Worth The Wait with an invitation to make their Grand Ole Opry debut during their Sunday evening (Dec. 11) concert at Ole Red in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
In the midst of the trio’s performance at Ole Red Gatlinburg, Shelton called in on the red phone, which was designed exclusively for the “No Body” singer to dial into the establishment on video chat.
After Worth The Wait picked up the phone, Shelton greeted The Voice alum with a smile on the giant screen behind them.
“What’s up? I know it’s your old coach calling in to say ‘hi, how you guys doing?’ Well, I just wanted to bump my head in and say hi to you guys. Haven’t seen you since… I don’t even know when… I think I saw you one time since you were on the show and it just makes me happy to know that you’re still out there hammering away,” Shelton shared.
“I just wanted to call in and say hi to you three and tell you that I missed you and I’m really proud of you and oh yeah, I almost forgot I’d like to invite you to play at the Grand Ole Opry next year.”
The Alabama trio, consisting of sisters Mia Makana and Jacy Leilani Matthews as well as their mother Tara Matthews, paused and stood there in awe of the invitation.
“I mean if you don’t want to that’s fine,” Shelton added after Worth The Wait were left speechless.
“I think we’ll pass,” they joked, before accepting the invitation, “not yeah, but hell yeah!”

Throughout the show, the family trio allowed their harmonies to shine vibrantly with performances of songs like The Judds’ “Love Is Alive,” Tanya Tucker’s “Delta Dawn,” and Martina McBride’s “I’m Gonna Love You Through It.”
“I think it’s time that a trio makes it to the finale in this show and I think it’s gonna be Worth The Wait,” Shelton proclaimed during The Voice following their performance of the Tanya Tucker classic.
