The "Next Girl" singer brought her furry friend to the red carpet.

Four performances and one award make up this year's list from Sunday's (April 18) ACM Awards.

She was having the night of her life.

It's their second ACM Awards win for the same song.

Pearce told Taste of Country first about her first 2021 ACM Awards win.

Pearce has never met Loretta Lynn, but she thinks they have some things in common.

Pearce and her peers hope to pay homage to Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris' iconic '80s collaboration.

When asked if she ever throws her arms up and thinks, "Why can't I have nice things?!" she lets out a laugh.

The 23-year-old opened up about "one of the coolest experiences to come out of one of the worst situations."

How cool is this connection?

The song is one of seven from Pearce's forthcoming '29'.

"I got back to myself, to my roots, to my truth, and then the songs just kept spilling out," says Pearce.
