CURRENT SINGLE: “Next Girl”
Carly Pearce has been fortunate to make some very good friends with other women in country music, like Kelsea Ballerini and Lindsay Ell. While she has good friends who aren’t in the business, Carly says, “To have artist friends who you can really, really relate to in this crazy life that we live is so special. We always say that you don’t really understand what it’s like to be an artist except if you are an artist.”
Particularly during the time of Covid, a lot of artists have been leaning on one another for support, because they are the ones who can truly understand what it means and how it feels not to be able to get on stage and perform, or to not be able to pay your band and crew, who are like family, because if you’re not touring, there’s no money coming in. So, to have close friends, especially women friends in the music business is invaluable to Carly, who says, “I love being able to text those girls if I need advice, text those girls if I want to bounce a song off of them, or if I just wanna drink some wine.”
Besides her female friends, Carly recently told us the artist she’s been spending the most time with over the last several months are Russell Dickerson and his wife Kailey, and their baby boy, Remington. Usually she and Lindsay Ell go over to their house and hang out and drink wine.
