Carly Pearce is a force to be reckoned with. From Taylor Mill, Kentucky, Carly has climbed her way up the Country charts and toured with some of the top country legends. Fiercely rooted in the classics, the girl who left her Kentucky home and high school at 16 to take a job at Dollywood has grown into a woman who embraces the genre’s forward progression and is confident in what she wants to say.

As Carly marks a new chapter coming of age, she earns three ACM Awards nominations for Female Artist, Single, and Music Event of the Year with her PLATINUM-certified, No. 1 duet with Lee Brice “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” Check out the growth of this Country music superstar through the years.
