Wyatt Flores Earns Standing Ovation During Grand Ole Opry Debut, Announces New Song ‘Milwaukee’

Fast-rising country star Wyatt Flores ushered in another milestone when he made his Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday night (Jan. 20).

With family, friends, and fans watching eagerly from the audience of the iconic Nashville venue, the Oklahoma native stepped into the coveted circle and sang his hit song “Holes.” This was followed by Flores’ delivery of his unreleased tune “Milwaukee,” which he revealed will be available everywhere on January 26.

“That’s my new song called ‘Milwaukee.’ It comes out next Friday, I’m very excited to release it,” he said on stage, igniting a round of roaring applause that turned into a standing ovation.

Flores Reflects On The Milestone Moment

Prior to making his way onto stage, Flores took a moment to reflect on the special evening with The Tennessean. In doing so, expressed the true awe factor that came with the realization that he was officially included in the coveted list of artists who have performed in the very same spot over the years. 

“I don’t think I deserve any of this credibility at all. I’m lucky that people like my songs. I’m trying to achieve freedom by connecting with emotions related to making it out of my situation and being somebody in this world,” he told the outlet. 

Flores later took to social media to celebrate his milestone night and share the news of his next release with the rest of his followers who were not in attendance for his show. 

His caption read, “I’m excited to announce “Milwaukee” comes out this Friday! I want to thank everyone who tuned in or showed up for my @opry Debut last night. I still don’t feel like I deserve to stand in that circle, but I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to do so. My heart is very full of joy and happiness for all the blessings that are in my life. Love y’all ❤️”

“You can hate my eyes for watching you leave/ Hate my should have chased you down feet/ And not trying to keep you wrapped in my arms/ You can hate my hands for letting you go/ Hate my lips for kissing yours cold/ And hiding all my feelings in the dark/ Please don’t hate my heart,” he sings on the chorus.
