Carly Pearce and Michael Ray got engaged back in December, and Carly says she recalls falling in love with him and the moment she knew she was in love with Michael. “I think we both posted (on Instagram), ‘One night at the Nashville Palace,’ which is a bar in Nashville, ‘changed everything.’ And I think we could both pinpoint the moment, that we both were sitting at the bar drinking vodka – which we all know I don’t drink vodka, but I was drinking it for him. And we just looked at each other and we knew. And I don’t know how to explain that and I’ve never experienced that before.”
It was that night at the Nashville Palace that led Carly and Michael to where they are now, which is engaged and preparing to get married this year. It was her relationship with Michael that inspired Carly to record her latest song, “Closer to You,” because it represents how she feels so well.
Carly Pearce – when knew in love :34
“I have known him for years. And there’s always been this, especially in the last year and a half, playing different radio shows, where I was thinking about him more than I should’ve. And I think we both posted, ‘One night at the Nashville Palace,’ which is a bar in Nashville, ‘changed everything.’ And I think we could both pinpoint the moment, that we both were sitting at the bar drinking vodka – which we all know I don’t drink vodka, but I was drinking it for him. And we just looked at each other and we knew. And I don’t know how to explain that and I’ve never experienced that before. But that was what that post meant.”
