“Prayed For You” singer Matt Stell announced yesterday on social media that he would make his Grand Ole Opry debut on April 27.
Stell said playing at the Grand Ole Opry is truly a dream come true for him.
“I’ve been in the audience and wondered what it would be like to step on that stage and into The Circle. I still can’t really believe I get to find out. I’m counting down the days,” he said.
“Prayed For You” is the first single from Stell’s EP, which is available this spring. He wrote the song with Ash Bowers and Allison Veltz. The song is currently at number 48 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and it is getting play on SirusXM The Highway.
The video for “Prayed For You” stars Samantha Chrisley and her boyfriend, Nic Kerdiles. The video currently has about 3.8 million views.
The track has been featured on Spotify’s Hot Country, New Boots, Wild Country, and Country Kind Of Love Playlists, Amazon’s “The Weekly One,” and Apple’s A-List Country Playlist.
