Grand Ole Opry Purse Rules
Here’s a weird one: zippers must be fully closed. I’m not kidding. If your bag has an open compartment and you’re not zipped up tight, security will give you the look. The Opry is a performing arts venue with strict fire codes, and a jingling open bag is a violation of… something. Honestly, I think it’s just a power move. But follow it anyway.
My aunt got reprimanded because her bag’s zipper was halfway open. She was holding a lipstick. “Ma’am, zip it,” the guard said. She zipped it. She still talks about it like it’s a near-death experience. Country music is serious business, y’all.
