Carly Pearce revealed her opinions about some of her wardrobe pieces she’s worn on tour over the years.
The Grammy-winning artist, who is gearing up for her first-ever world tour in 2024/2025 after releasing her fourth studio album, ranked her former tour looks in a video on TikTok. Pearce noted she has “been a country artist for a very long time, which means I’ve worn a lot of different tour looks. So I’m going to rate some of them, and I have no idea what they are. I did not curate this list.”
The first photo to pop up on screen took place before Pearce’s breakout ballad, “Every Little Thing,” which released in 2017. Pearce said she “thought I looked like a snack,” in the thigh-high boots, and ultimately rated the look a 6/10. That was followed by one of Pearce’s “favorite looks” from Kenny Chesney’s headlining tour, which earned an 8.5/10. She went on to review former looks on tour with Blake Shelton and a throwback photo on stage with Kelsea Ballerini (“Kelsea and I both need help with this,” Pearce laughed at the 2/10 look). The final photo is a snapshot of Pearce with Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale, when she served as one of Hale’s backup singers (Hale has since appeared in one of Pearce’s music videos, for “We Don’t Fight Anymore” with Chris Stapleton). Throughout the TikTok, Pearce rated previous tour looks anywhere between -1/10 to 10/10.
Pearce, 34, released her fourth studio album, hummingbird, in June. The highly-anticipated follow-up to 2021’s 29: Written in Stone includes the duet with Stapleton, “country music made me do it,” “truck on fire,” “my place,” “fault line” and more. Pearce served in a producing role for the first time alongside Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, and shared that she hoped the album would offer updates on her life since her 29 era.
“I hope that you see that no matter where you’re at, you’re right on time,” Pearce said in the hours before hummingbird’s release. “Don’t let anybody tell you that just because you’re not living the ‘American dream’ or ‘society’s standards’ that anything’s wrong with you. It’s OK to not have it all figured out. You can still be happy through that, and I feel like what I have learned more than anything is that God gave me a really big story. A story that, if I’m honest, I don’t know that I really wanted. But I have owned it in the last three years, and I’m proud of it, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I just can’t wait for you guys to hear hummingbird.”
