DARK SECRETS: Sabrina carpenter makes her grand ole opry debut in custom bob mackie | Rare Historical Photos

Sabrina Carpenter performs her most country songs at the Grand Ole Opry in a fringed little black dress.

After years of writing country-sounding songs, Sabrina Carpenter finally made her Grand Ole Opry debut. Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, and Patsy Cline once stood where she stood, but Carpenter's outfit for a night at the legendary Tennessee venue hailed from a disco-era designer.

Cowboy boots are practically required at the Opry, for patrons and performers alike.

"Thank you for the perfect dress," Carpenter wrote to Mackie after her Opry debut, alongside a close-up of her on-stage set.
