Carly Pearce Stunned By CMA Win: ‘You Just Can’t Even Prepare Yourself for Something Like That’

Carly Pearce won the 2021 CMA for Female Vocalist on Wednesday night. The country star celebrated at the award show with her new boyfriend, Riley King. She told Access Hollywood why this album and win was so special. “That’s the beautiful thing, I make this music hoping that people relate. Then, they share with me that they’re moved by it and then they make me feel like I’m ok too. And that’s the beautiful thing about this album and this whole season of my life,” she said.
