LeAnn Rimes

On Sept. 13, 1996, Rimes made her Grand Ole Opry debut.

When Rimes made her country debut, she couldn’t even drive yet.

She admits she didn't cope well.

Say "Cheese!"

Millions of Americans go on vacation, cool off in a pool or pitch a tent during the summer, but how do country stars soak up the summer months?

On March 16, 1998, Rimes' debut single, "Blue," was certified gold, for sales in excess of 500,000 units.

Remember when ...?

It doesn't have to be country to be country!

She was a polished pro even then.
