“Comedy and the Opry have always had a long history, and I’m beyond proud to be able to play a small part in keeping it going,” said Hays in a statement. “I’m so honored to have been asked to step into the circle in March, and to have my friend Lainey Wilson make the ask is something I’ll never forget.”
In March 2025, Hays is scheduled to make her Grand Ole Opry debut. Her hometown of Birmingham sold out for her 2024 The First Time Tour performance on Friday, December 6. Hays just revealed that, following the success of her first run, she will be adding 28 more dates until 2025.
Her debut country/comedy single “Rode Hard” peaked at No. 6 on the global iTunes Charts, No. 8 on Billboard’s country digital song sales, No. 22 on Billboard’s digital song sales, and put Hays at No. 34 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists. Her latest track, “If These Walls Could Talk,” follows that single.
