Carly Pearce, the renowned country singer, candidly opened up about a past performance gone awry during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, where she participated in a light-hearted game of “Sip or Spill” to promote her latest album, *Honest Woman*. The 36-year-old star shared a revealing anecdote from her 29 Tour, particularly recalling a concert in Washington, D.C., that she described as a night she should have possibly skipped.

During the game, Pearce reflected on a night when her indulgence got the better of her, saying, “I know exactly the show. If you were at my show on the 29 Tour a few years ago in D.C., I over-served myself.” With a hint of embarrassment, she recounted her realisation mid-performance that she was perhaps not in the best shape to entertain. “I was like, ‘Uh oh, this is not going to be good,’” she admitted, yet she managed to push through the evening despite the circumstances.
The conversation took a slightly humorous turn as Pearce shared another personal experience from her dating life, recalling a particularly awkward date where she was not the intoxicated party. “I once went on a date with a guy who got so blackout drunk that I had to drive him home,” she explained, recounting how the evening ended with an unusual twist when he feigned a phone call instead of attempting a kiss. “But I could see his lock screen — where there was no call,” she added, amusingly stating, “Just tell me you don’t want to kiss me. I don’t want to kiss you either.”
Pearce’s new album, *Honest Woman*, draws heavy inspiration from her roots in traditional country and bluegrass music. Released on 28th August, the album has been described by her as a significant return to the influences that have shaped her musical identity. Pearce expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, “I’ve been working on it for almost two years, really, and I just think it’s my best music.”
The album features singles such as “Dream Come True” and “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay,” showcasing Pearce’s ability to blend contemporary themes with classic country sounds. The singer has described the work as a personal culmination of her artistic journey, highlighting her dedication to authenticity and heartfelt storytelling.
To promote this new collection, Pearce is gearing up for an extensive series of performances in intimate venues across North America. The upcoming tour will commence on 10th September in Detroit, with notable stops in cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, Toronto, and Boston, before concluding in New York City on 22nd October.
Pearce’s candid recount of her past experiences resonates with many fans, adding to her authenticity as an artist. Her willingness to share personal stories, whether from her performances or her dating life, not only humanises her but also connects her more deeply with her audience.
As the country singer prepares to share her latest work on stage, the anticipation continues to build among her supporters eager to witness Pearce’s growth as a musician and performer. With *Honest Woman*, she aims not only to reflect her roots but also to explore new creative territories that may resonate with both old and new fans alike.
