Sabrina made her Grand Ole Opry debut on October 7th, 2025. Her set list consisted of her 4 most “country” songs: Please Please Please, Go Go Juice, Slim Pickins, and of course, Manchild. For those who don’t know, The Opry is a legendary weekly country music show based in Nashville, Tennessee, that is often called “the home of American music.” (Take that as you will). Since it’s first broadcast all the way back in the 1920s, it’s become one of the longest running radio shows in history and is a cornerstone of country music. It has also launched the careers of SEVERAL famous country music artists from Dolly Parton to Johnny Cash and continues to spotlight both legends and rising stars.

So why’s it important that Sabrina played there?

Believe it or not, this is a major milestone for Sabrina’s career and a symbolic moment for both her and the institution itself. Although she is a pop star, performing at one of country music’s most famous historic stages is a really meaningful crossover! Especially considering how tight the country music circle is and how it can be difficult to be accepted by them. Her performance honors the Opry’s legacy while simultaneously reflecting the more modern direction of American music.
