Last night (8/3/21) Carly Pearce was officially inducted as the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. This honor came less than four months after Carly won two ACM Awards for her song, “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” Trying to put into words what these bucket list milestones mean to her, Carly says, “I think it’s just 31 years of dreams that I really have had since I was a little girl, coming true”
Carly says all she ever wanted was to matter in country music. “All I ever wanted to do is have a seat at the country music table,” she says, “And the fact that I am seeing that I have one – and I know that sounds funny because I’ve been doing this for a few years now but – it just feels [like] ‘Wait a minute, is this real? Is this real?’ And I feel like these two moments are just really, really special to my heart.”
