When the Nashville school Covenant House decided to do their school play on the Grand Ole Opry, they had no idea that Carrie Underwood would be in the audience to catch the show in which she was featured.

Carrie did just that watching the play done by 4th and 5th graders and then staying after to take photos and sign autographs for the kids in the show.

The school posted a bunch of pictures of Underwood with the kids Friday (2/11) to their Instagram after the visit. They wrote, "When Carrie Underwood shows up to watch the 3rd and 4th grade musical about the Grand Ole Opry…it’s a REALLY good day, especially if you were the little girl who just played her on stage! Carrie even stayed to pose for pictures and sign autographs. We could not have asked for a better surprise for our hardworking students! #covenantknights #carrieunderwood."
