CMA, ACM and Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Carly Pearce has extended her longtime publishing partnership with BMG in association with Altadena, the music company founded by Carly‘s late producer and collaborator, busbee and LEO33’s Daniel Lee. Celebrating a decade with her publishing home, Pearce continues to be “one of the most exciting voices in contemporary country music” with her “songwriting [that] is as sharp as ever” (Associated Press).
Said Pearce, “BMG has been a part of my story from the very beginning of my career. They have supported me the whole way, and I couldn’t be happier to continue my journey with them!”
Chris Oglesby, BMG Nashville’s VP, Publishing, said, “Carly’s strength, determination and writing skills are as fierce as her work ethic. We are honored to continue this journey with her and Altadena.”
Connecting with audiences across the globe, the multi-Platinum Country star kickstarted her headlining hummingbird world tour this October in support of her latest album hummingbird, which marks Pearce’s debut as a co-producer and includes the Grammy-nominated “we don’t fight anymore” featuring Chris Stapleton and blazing current radio single “truck on fire.” Receiving stunning critical acclaim, The New York Times praised the “country star with a flair for good, old fashioned craftsmanship,” while the Tennessean boasts that “Carly Pearce's fourth studio album, hummingbird, presents her best and ‘most authentic’ self via integrity-driven hard work that feeds her soul.”
Yesterday, Carly unveiled the fiery official music video for her rising single “truck on fire” that The New York Times hailed a “swinging country revenge song.” Watch the music video below, which transports the viewer to a small town and sees Carly live out a classic revenge fantasy, taking matters into her own hands by torching the beloved truck of a cheating ex. Directed by Carly’s longtime collaborator Alexa Campbell, “truck on fire” is Carly’s first official music video to be released since she won the CMT Award for Collaborative Video of the Year in April for her GRAMMY-nominated single “we don’t fight anymore” featuring Chris Stapleton.
On the heels of her four Number One singles at country radio, the Grand Ole Opry member shows no signs of slowing down and continues to resonate with her honest lyrics and timeless musicality.

ABOUT CARLY PEARCE:
Fiercely rooted in the classics, the girl who left her Kentucky home and high school at 16 to take a job at Dollywood has grown into a woman who embraces the genre’s forward progression. GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter Carly Pearce lit a fire with her debut album Every Little Thing and the PLATINUM-certified history-making title track, and she hasn’t slowed down since. With the praised release of her highly anticipated fourth album, hummingbird (June 7, Big Machine Records), Pearce continues to resonate with her honest lyrics and timeless musicality. The critically acclaimed album includes lead single “we don’t fight anymore” (featuring Chris Stapleton), which earned Pearce her second GRAMMY® nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and fifth Top 5 Country Radio hit, as well as the blazing single “truck on fire” which Pearce debuted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Pearce is currently on her headlining hummingbird world tour where she’ll connect with fans across the globe following a run of 45 sold-out shows as direct support on Tim McGraw’s Standing Room Only Tour. Pearce, now a Grand Ole Opry and Kentucky Music Hall of Fame member, has come a long way from the pain she felt writing her critically acclaimed and commercially lauded third studio album 29 which includes Country Radio chart toppers “Never Wanted To Be That Girl” with Ashley McBryde and PLATINUM-certified “What He Didn’t Do.” For the PLATINUM-certified “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” Pearce picked up her second consecutive ACM Music Event of the Year in 2022 and marked the third duet between two solo women to top Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The song also took home the 2022 CMA Musical Event of the Year and won a GRAMMY® Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, marking Pearce’s first and making history as the first female pairing to win in the category. In addition, Pearce’s 3x PLATINUM-certified “I Hope You’re Happy Now" with Lee Brice won both the 2020 CMA Awards Musical Event and 2021 ACM Awards Music Event, plus ACM Single of the Year. In 2023, Pearce joined Blake Shelton’s BACK TO THE HONKY TONK TOUR and made her 100th performance at the Grand Ole Opry. For tour dates and more, visit CarlyPearce.com.
