Carly Pearce

The "Next Girl" singer brought her furry friend to the red carpet.

They've since become good friends.

Four performances and one award make up this year's list from Sunday's (April 18) ACM Awards.

Pearce told Taste of Country first about her first 2021 ACM Awards win.

When asked if she ever throws her arms up and thinks, "Why can't I have nice things?!" she lets out a laugh.

The 23-year-old opened up about "one of the coolest experiences to come out of one of the worst situations."

"I got back to myself, to my roots, to my truth, and then the songs just kept spilling out," says Pearce.

The singer got to usher in what ended up being a super exciting game determining who'd go to the Super Bowl.

In debuting a new song earlier this month the "Next Girl" singer once again looks to have dug deep into her personal narrative.

The singer's beloved ways to celebrate involve her pets, her mother and two of their favorite holiday films.
