00:00Carly Pearce with Jeff and Justin at the CMA's. Carly Pearce, how are you?

00:03I'm so good.

00:04You doing well?

00:05I'm doing great.

00:06I mean, when you have Chris Stapleton featuring on a song, it's hard not to be really happy.

00:10I'm doing really nice.

00:11That song is so strong and powerful.

00:14I mean, when I just thought you couldn't top the last album when it comes to emotions in an album, you do it.

00:20Well, you know, I feel like it was unexpected to come with something this deep again,

00:25but it was just a song that I felt like was important.

00:27I wrote it, and I heard Stapleton's voice on it in my head, and here we are.

00:32That's really special.

00:33Yeah.

00:33CMA Awards on Wednesday performing.

00:36Can you, like, reveal anything, or do they swear you to secrecy?

00:40Like fireworks?

00:41No fireworks.

00:42Live animals, anything?

00:43I have Chris Stapleton.

00:45That feels like the greatest thing ever.

00:47An animal in itself.

00:48You're so amazing up there.

00:49The animal.

00:51I think it's just really, I think the way that it's shot is really beautiful,

00:54and I feel like you kind of see Chris in a light that you've never seen him in before,

00:59which you'll understand when you see it.

01:01That's cool.

01:01It's cool.

01:02You know, we drove across the country, well, I should not be that exaggerated,

01:05from Philly to Nashville.

01:06Yeah.

01:07We did a whole trip, and we stopped at Dollywood.

01:09Oh, my God.

01:10And we did the nerdiest thing ever.

01:11What did you do?

01:12We walked around, and I went, do you think she performed here?

01:14Or was it here?

01:16Do you think she performed there?

01:16Or was it there?

01:17Then we took a fudge break.

01:19Do you think she performed there?

01:20Of course.

01:21You probably took, like, six fudge breaks.

01:22We bought, so I spent $40 on fudge, Carly.

01:25Oh, did you try the cinnamon bread?

01:26No.

01:27Carly, we should have talked to you.

01:29Day four.

01:29They have shirts that said, good day for cinnamon bread.

01:32I should have took the hint and should have got the cinnamon bread.

01:34Oh, we screwed up.

01:35My theater was right across from cinnamon bread, so.

01:37We were there.

01:38We were there.

01:38That's where Country Christmas was.

01:39They had the banjo.

01:40Oh, yes.

01:41Yeah, okay, that's the stage.

01:42Country Crossroads.

01:43Okay.

01:43Country Crossroads.

01:44Oh, that's right, that's right.

01:45I'm sorry.

01:45Well, they were, now we're into Christmas.

01:47We're celebrating Christmas.

01:48Okay, okay.

01:49Already transferred over.

01:50No, but you're good.

01:50But you need cinnamon bread.

01:52God.

01:52That's the greatest.

01:53You know, you look at, like, look at where Carly Pierce is now in her life.

01:57So when you go to a place like Dollywood, or you're walking on Broadway, and you hear

02:00these, quote unquote, nobodies, you know this could be the next Carly Pierce, right?

02:05This could be somebody.

02:05So when we were walking around Dollywood, I was thinking about it the whole time.

02:08There was this amazing singer who was just, you know, guitar singing little Christmas

02:12ditties.

02:12And I was like, that could be the next one because everybody has a journey, and your

02:16journey has taken you to here, and the success of the last two years has been massive, Carly

02:20Pierce.

02:20It felt like just yesterday we had her for a free show, and now all of a sudden, now

02:23all of a sudden she's Carly Pierce just crushing it and being so true to yourself.

02:27Oh, thank you.

02:28All right, so watch CMAs because we're going to see Chris Stapleton in a new light, and

02:32we're going to hear this beautiful voice on the stage at the CMAs.

02:35Cinnamon bread next time.

02:36Cinnamon bread.

02:37Brought to you by cinnamon bread at Dollywood.
