Carrie Underwood moved the crowd at the 100th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry on Wednesday night.
Underwood took the stage at the event, titled "Opry 100: A Live Celebration," to honor Randy Travis, who welcomed her to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry 17 years ago in 2008.
Underwood kicked off her tribute to Travis by sharing a story about her childhood. She said that her sister had a cassette tape of Travis', and once she got her hands on it, she "never" gave it back to her.

Five years after that, Travis had a stroke that made him nearly unable to sing.

On Wednesday night, Underwood performed Travis' "Three Wooden Crosses" and "Forever and Ever, Amen."
At the end of "Forever and Ever, Amen," Underwood walked over to Travis in the crowd and gave him the microphone to sing the closing, "Amen," which moved the crowd to tears.
"Randy Travis everybody."
