Single celebrates gold status and Grand Ole Opry membership invitation

Carly Pearce has released a special live version of “Next Girl” as the original officially earns RIAA gold certification. “Next Girl (Live)” is out now via Big Machine Records.

“I don’t know how to keep saying thank you enough for everything that is happening in my world, that I dreamt of since I was a little girl listening to Country music with my grandparents! I’m so grateful for all of the fans coming along the journey with me and can’t wait to see you out on the road. Until we’re singing together, I hope you enjoy this live version of ‘Next Girl,” shares Pearce.

Recently named as the only country artist on TIME Magazine‘s “Songs of the Summer for 2021,” Pearce has also been invited to become the next member of the Grand Ole Opry by one of her biggest inspirations, Dolly Parton. Having performed 85 times, the Kentucky native will be formally inducted into the Opry on Tuesday, August 3rd. The chart-topping singer/songwriter is back on the road performing her previous hits and songs from her critically-acclaimed, fan-praised collection called 29 (Big Machine Records).
