Rising country artist Hannah McFarland is about to check off the biggest dream on her childhood bucket list: playing the Grand Ole Opry. The Alabama-born singer/songwriter will step into the Opry’s famous circle for the very first time on October 31 in Nashville.
“I wrote a bucket list of my biggest dreams as a kid, and leading at No. 1 was playing the Grand Ole Opry,” McFarland shares. “It feels surreal to finally see something I’ve prayed and worked so hard for come true.”
What’s Next for McFarland
The Opry milestone is just the beginning of what’s shaping up to be a massive year. She’s also been announced as part of the 2026 Stagecoach Festival lineup (April 24–26 in Indio, California), where she’ll join stars like Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Bailey Zimmerman, and three of her recent collaborators — Chase Rice, Riley Green, and Brett Young.
Recent Collaborations and Buzz
McFarland’s been steadily making waves through high-profile collaborations:
“Foolin’” with Chase Rice – a lighthearted duet with an equally charming video.
“I Just Need You” with Riley Green, part of his Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe) release.
“In Case You Didn’t Know 2.0” with Brett Young, showing her versatility on one of his most beloved hits.
Her talent hasn’t gone unnoticed — she was recently featured on Hits Daily Double’s New & Developing Artists list, joining names like Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton.
Touring and Live Performances
Since releasing her debut EP Broken Hearts in February, McFarland has been on the move:
Supported Riley Green on his UK and European tour this fall.
Currently touring with Chase Rice across the U.S.
Returning in November to join Green again for arena shows across the Midwest.
Already booked to tour with him again in spring 2026.
She’s also shared stages with Tucker Wetmore, Kip Moore, and even performed a duet with Zach Bryan on his Grammy-winning “I Remember Everything.”
