Following the release of his history-making EP, Leave the Light On—which became the most-streamed debut project of the year and the most-streamed country debut project ever—Warner Music Nashville’s Bailey Zimmerman hit the stage for his Grand Ole Opry debut on 11/4.

Shortly after his set, the rising country star was presented with gold and platinum plaques by members of his label and management team for his singles “Fall in Love,” which is currently Top 5 at Country radio, and “Rock and a Hard Place.”
