Carly Pearce

"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.

"I used to think it was not an asset," she admits.

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.

It took so many people to get to this moment.

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

Pearce has never met Loretta Lynn, but she thinks they have some things in common.

Pearce and her peers hope to pay homage to Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris' iconic '80s collaboration.
