NASHVILLE, TN (December 14, 2023) – Closing out a phenomenal 2023, GRAMMY, CMA and ACM Award-winning Carly Pearce shows no signs of slowing down as she heads into 2024 with her second GRAMMY® Award nomination and new music on the horizon.
Pearce is once again nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with her Top 25-and-rising single “We Don’t Fight Anymore” featuring Chris Stapleton, the same category in which she took home her first-ever GRAMMY® Award earlier this year with her Platinum-certified, chart-topping track “Never Wanted To Be That Girl” with Ashley McBryde. Pearce and McBryde made history as the first female pairing to win in that category.
Just ahead of earning her latest GRAMMY® Award Nomination, Pearce performed the live debut of “We Don’t Fight Anymore” with Chris Stapleton at the 57th Annual CMA Awards. Watch the performance HERE.
“We Don’t Fight Anymore” (Big Machine Records) unlocked a new musical chapter for Pearce through an authentic display of her musical sensibilities as she leaned fully into her sound and cemented her place as a transcendent storyteller. The song ignited at Country radio, earning Pearce her biggest radio add date thus far and widespread support across streaming and industry partners.

The song’s “heart-wrenching” (Taste of Country) music video was directed by Alexa Campbell and starred actors Lucy Hale – a longtime friend of Pearce – and Shiloh Fernandez, who visually brought the stirring song to life. Watch the music video HERE.
