“Everybody’s here at one time and one place,” Paisley finishes saying that all the legends are under one roof. “Wait, does that leave us vulnerable??” Carrie questions him.
“It’s okay, Carrie – we’ve thought of that! You see, right now, in a secret location – TOP SECRET!” He continued. “In the basement of the Grand Ole Opry we have our very own ‘designated survivor'”.
Carrie couldn’t hold her curiosity back, “I’ve gotta know: Who’s gonna fill our shoes if something happens to all of us?”
“Billy Ray Cyrus.”
