Carly Pearce

Pearce, Shelton, Little Big Town and more are headed down to Austin for a jam-packed night of live music.

Ashley McBryde, Lee Ann Womack and more will perform at the 2021 ACM Honors, which Pearce will host in late August.

Carly Pearce was overwhelmed with joy upon receiving an invitation to become a Grand Ole Opry member — but Dolly Parton's surprise ask was merely the beginning of the excitement.

Pearce covers one of her late-'80s country favorites, '18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses,' for 'The Ice Road' soundtrack.

Talking to Taste of Country Nights, Pearce re-lived the invite and filled in some holes in the narrative.

"Dreams come true… sometimes even better than you dare to dream."

The "Next Girl" singer brought her furry friend to the red carpet.

They've since become good friends.

Four performances and one award make up this year's list from Sunday's (April 18) ACM Awards.

Pearce says her 2021 ACM Awards wins for "I Hope You're Happy Now" are especially meaningful because of what a personal song it is.
