Carly Pearce knew long before Michael Ray proposed to her that she would spend the rest of her life with him because she says, “This is the first time in my life, and will be the only time, that I’ve ever experienced feeling like this for somebody.”
Regardless of the fact that Carly and Michael have to spend time apart while they pursue their individual careers, they do whatever it takes to bridge the gap and get to each other when they can, even it means flying across the country on their days off to spend one day together. Carly says it’s simple. “When you love somebody like that you want to put in the effort and you want to get closer to them and you want to make them understand that you’re in this. And for us, our life revolves around touring and being away and so we have to go to each other. And I think for me now, and exactly what (my latest single, “Closer to You”) says is, he is now home to me. It doesn’t matter if I’m in my own home, and that’s something that I’ve never experienced and is really special.”
Carly just kicked off The Way Back Tour with Russell Dickerson, which will run through the first part of March. Then in May she’ll join Jason Aldean on the Ride All Night Tour. You can see her tour schedule on CarlyPearce.com.
