Hailey Whitters has been named as the Opry Nextstage artist, along with a nomination for ‘Breakthrough Video of the Year’ at the 2021 CMT Music Awards.
Today (6/1), Opry Entertainment Group and the Grand Ole Opry announced that Iowa-born, Nashville-based Country artist Hailey Whitters is 2021’s inaugural Opry NextStage artist. The Opry NextStage platform was created to invest in the discovery and development of new artists, and features collaborations such as live performances, strategic marketing support and short-form documentary-style storytelling created by Opry Entertainment’s award-winning content team.
“The Grand Ole Opry is a holy place to me. Its story and circle are something I’ve dreamt of being a part of ever since I was a little girl,” shared Whitters. “To be named an Opry NextStage Artist is an honor and comes at a time in my career where their investment in my career makes a difference.”
Whitters made her Opry debut in 2019 and is set to return this Saturday, June 5, at 8 p.m. CT. Her performance will be included on Circle Network’s weekly Opry Live broadcast and livestream.
