Last night, GRAMMY, CMA & ACM Award-winning country star Carly Pearce rocked the Mane Stage at Stagecoach Festival and delivered a showstopping set honoring the legacy and unifying spirit of country music to the large festival crowd.
Her second Stagecoach appearance but first on the main stage, Pearce kicked off her set with“rock paper scissors” and kept the energy high as she played through beloved hits like current single “truck on fire,” which continues to climb the country charts, “Next Girl,” “still blue” and more.
Pearce, who left home at 16 to perform at Dollywood in pursuit of a country music career, took a sweet moment in her set to honor her idol Dolly Parton by delivering a gorgeous rendition of her iconic song “Jolene.” Parton has been a key figure in Pearce’s musical journey and even surprised Pearce with the invitation to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry back in 2021.
In a surprise moment for fans, Pearce brought out Carter Faith (pictured above), who is currently joining her as direct support on her hummingbird world tour, for a surprise performance of the GRAMMY-winning hit “Never Wanted To Be That Girl.”
Pearce continues her 40+ date headlining hummingbird world tour next week with upcoming shows in Silver Spring, MD; Bethlehem, PA & Hampton Beach, NH, before concluding with a very special sold-out show at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium on May 16.

About Carly Pearce
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. GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter Carly Pearce lit a fire with her debut album Every Little Thing and the PLATINUM-certified history-making title track, and she hasn’t slowed down since. With the praised release of her highly anticipated fourth album, hummingbird (June 7, Big Machine Records), Pearce continues to resonate with her honest lyrics and timeless musicality. The critically acclaimed album includes lead single “we don’t fight anymore” (featuring Chris Stapleton), which earned Pearce her second GRAMMY® nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and fifth Top 5 Country Radio hit, as well as the blazing single “truck on fire” which Pearce debuted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. On March 14, Pearce released hummingbird: no rain, no flowers, a deluxe edition of the album with 5 new tracks. Co-produced by Pearce, hummingbird: no rain, no flowers extends her hummingbird era of growth through authentic storytelling and traditional country musicality. Pearce is currently on her 40+ date headlining hummingbird world tour where she’s connecting with fans across the globe, including a run of sold-out shows in the U.K. and Europe. This tour follows a run of 45 sold-out shows as direct support on Tim McGraw’s Standing Room Only Tour. Now a Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry member who has performed on the famed stage more than 100 times, Pearce has come a long way from the pain she felt writing her critically acclaimed and commercially lauded third studio album 29 which includes Country Radio chart toppers “Never Wanted To Be That Girl” with Ashley McBryde and PLATINUM-certified “What He Didn’t Do.” For the PLATINUM-certified “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” Pearce picked up her second consecutive ACM Music Event of the Year in 2022 and marked the third duet between two solo women to top Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The song also took home the 2022 CMA Musical Event of the Year and won a GRAMMY® Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, marking Pearce’s first and making history as the first female pairing to win in the category. In addition, Pearce’s 3x PLATINUM-certified “I Hope You’re Happy Now” with Lee Brice won both the 2020 CMA Awards Musical Event and 2021 ACM Awards Music Event, plus ACM Single of the Year.
