Carly Pearce

She's got a message for her younger self.

"I was like, 'OK, Kenny Chesney is in better shape than me.'"

"It truly was, I think, the most nervous I’ve ever been in my career.”

She gave a powerful tribute performance to welcome the Judds into the Country Music Hall of Fame, just one day after Naomi Judd's death.

Heck yes!

Standouts from the next generation in country music will join Rimes for this career-spanning performance special.

For these two fans, the song is very personal.

After learning to approach her music with unflinching honesty, Pearce is getting to know fans in a more intimate way.

Carly Pearce now holds all the current Female Artist of the Year trophies.

Pearce and McBryde shared the news on the ACM Awards red carpet prior to the show.
