Carly Pearce

Pearce completes her '29' chapter on Sept. 17.

Though her Grand Ole Opry invite was a surprise to Pearce, it wasn't much of one to anyone who’s been paying close attention to her career.

Ashley McBryde, Lee Ann Womack and more will perform at the 2021 ACM Honors, which Pearce will host in late August.

Carly Pearce was overwhelmed with joy upon receiving an invitation to become a Grand Ole Opry member — but Dolly Parton's surprise ask was merely the beginning of the excitement.

Pearce covers one of her late-'80s country favorites, '18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses,' for 'The Ice Road' soundtrack.

Talking to Taste of Country Nights, Pearce re-lived the invite and filled in some holes in the narrative.

"Dreams come true… sometimes even better than you dare to dream."

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 says her 2021 ACM Awards wins for "I Hope You're Happy Now" are especially meaningful because of what a personal song it is.

She was having the night of her life.

It's their second ACM Awards win for the same song.

It took so many people to get to this moment.
