Carly Pearce is nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Ashley McBryde at the upcoming Grammy Awards for their song, “Never Wanted to Be That Girl.” Carly co-wrote the song with Ashley and Shane McAnally, and one thing she is especially proud of about the song is the way hers and Ashley’s voices blended together so effortlessly.

“Something that I think is so special that you’ll hear on the track is, we sing different harmony parts, not because it was planned. It organically happened in the room. And we flip over each other and sing around each other, and it’s this really fun blend of two voices that aren’t similar, but they just work. And that’s so fun for me.”

Carly and Ashley are up against Ingrid Andress and Sam Hunt “Wishful Drinking,” Brothers Osborne “Midnight Rider’s Prayer,” Luke Combs and Miranda Lambert “Outrunnin’ Your Memory,” Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton “Does He Love You – Revisited,” and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss “Going Where The Lonely Go.”

The 2023 Grammy Awards will air this Sunday, February 5, on CBS, Paramount+, and live.GRAMMY.com at 8 p.m. eastern (7 p.m. central).
