Carly Pearce is nominated for the ACM New Female Vocalist of the Year award, and to add to the celebration, her fiancée, Michael Ray, is nominated for New Male Vocalist. When Carly got the news she said, “Never in a million years did I think that I would be marrying a country music artist, but also, never in a million years did I think that we would both be nominated for New Female and New Male Vocalist of the Year. This is what dreams are made of. This is truly the most incredible feeling. I can’t tell you how excited we both were.”
The morning of the nominations was extra special for Carly and Michael because she says, “We decided to make a pact that we were gonna fly to be together the night of the award announcements because we just put it out into the world and put it to God that we were both gonna be nominated, and we ended up being able to celebrate together and it was so special.”
Carly and Michael will be husband and wife by the end of the year and she says, “This is something I know we’re gonna tell our kids one day. And we’re gonna have a lot of fun in Vegas and hopefully we take home some trophies for our mantel.”
Carly has one more weekend of dates on The Way Back Tour with Russell Dickerson, before she heads overseas for the C2C Music Festival in Europe, and then onto Australia for the CMC Rocks Festival, where she will continue promoting her latest single, “Closer to You.”
