There's nothing like getting down with your best girls following a momentous night like the one Kaitlin Butts, Dasha, Avery Anna and Tigirlily Gold's Kendra Olson and Krista Slaubaugh just had.
The four country acts, alongside Tucker Wetmore, Kashus Culpepper and Chayce Beckham, were recently announced as Opry NextStage's Class of 2025.
To celebrate, the female performers and rising powerhouses gathered in some backstage locale to dance out their excitement. They can be seen in a TikTok jamming out to a fellow rising star, pop artist Lola Young's, inescapable mainstream hit, 'Messy'.
In the footage, uploaded onto Butts' account, the women appear to be having a grand time, lip-syncing, laughing and bopping along to the infectious tune.
Over the course of 2025, this new NextStage class will receive dedicated support from the Grand Ole Opry, in partnership with Tecovas. Through featured original content, performances and promotion across brand platforms, the Opry is devoted to elevating these rising acts, introducing them to new fanbases, expanding their audiences and giving them the tools to succeed in their budding careers.
Past classes have included some of today's heavy-hitters, and last year's roster, which included 49 Winchester, Anne Wilson, Charles Wesley Godwin, Chase Matthew, Ella Langley, Flatland Cavalry, Josh Ross, Madeline Edwards and Wyatt Flores, is set for the same trajectory.
The NextStage Class of 2025 joins the Grand Ole Opry umbrella at a momentous moment as the institution celebrates its 100th year.
