NASHVILLE, TN (July 8, 2024) – In addition to the critically-acclaimed release of her fourth studio album hummingbird (Big Machine Records), GRAMMY, CMA and ACM Award-winning Country star Carly Pearce is celebrating a successful wrap of 45 sold-out dates as direct support for Tim McGraw’s STANDING ROOM ONLY TOUR, as well as the album’s lead single “we don’t fight anymore” featuring Chris Stapleton becoming her latest Top 5 hit. Keeping up the momentum, Pearce announces her next single “truck on fire” officially impacting Country Radio on July 29.
“No one wants to be cheated on, but everyone wants to seek revenge,” says Pearce of “truck on fire.” “I wrote this song for every girl who has gone through a similar situation and dreams of wreaking havoc on her ex. I got the opportunity to perform the song live while on tour with Tim McGraw and the way the fans have embraced it has blown me away every single time. I couldn’t think of a better song to make my next single.”
Praise for the “swinging country revenge song” (The New York Times) which Pearce debuted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and also performed on CMA Fest’s primetime concert special, includes:
“The song, about a liar whose truck replaces his pants in being ablaze, is the kind of melody that has the potential to make waves as a single on the country charts if the reactions in Nationwide Arena are any indicator.” – The Columbus Dispatch
“Long may she sing…“Liar, liar, truck on fire,” she warbles in this deceptively bouncy ditty. She has plans to torch his ride, you see. As usual, she sings her face off.” – MusicRow
“a blazing single” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“The lyrics are clever and full of humor, the production and melody are really catchy…super fun to listen and sing along with.” – Whiskey Riff
Blending traditional Country sounds with deeply personal storytelling filled with honesty and wit, hummingbird showcases Pearce’s transformative journey through loss and growth and marks her debut as a co-producer alongside Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. hummingbird marks Pearce’s emergence from the storm – stronger than ever – and highlights her rebuilding process and newfound joy, drawing inspiration from the hummingbird’s symbolism of healing, hope, and resilience.
During CMA Fest, Pearce held the hummingbird edition of her third annual charity pop-up event, Carly’s Closet, where she gave fans ultimate access with the opportunity to shop handpicked items of clothing, shoes, and accessories from her personal collection benefiting the CMA Foundation. As Pearce first announced on Good Morning America, the Carly’s Closet: hummingbird edition event was the biggest yet as it doubled last year’s funds, allowing for a donation of $20,000 benefitting the CMA Foundation.
Looking ahead, international fans can see Pearce on her upcoming headlining hummingbird 2025 uk/eu tour, kicking off February 9 in Stockholm, Sweden. The 14-city tour includes stops in Oslo, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Amsterdam, London, Manchester and more before concluding on February 28 in Dublin.

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. 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. 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 2023, Pearce joined Blake Shelton’s BACK TO THE HONKY TONK TOUR and made her 100th performance at the Grand Ole Opry. As she closed out that pivotal 29 chapter with her first live album 29: WRITTEN IN STONE (LIVE FROM MUSIC CITY), Pearce now steps into the next chapter of her musical career. With the praised release of her highly anticipated fourth album, hummingbird (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® Awards nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and fifth Top 5 Country Radio hit, as well as her blazing single “truck on fire,” which Pearce debuted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Pearce joined Tim McGraw’s sold-out STANDING ROOM ONLY TOUR as direct support and will head out on her hummingbird 2025 uk/eu tour in February 2025. For tour dates and more, visit CarlyPearce.com.
