There was no better way to celebrate Women’s Day at the New York State Fair than with Carly Pearce on stage. From the first note, she pulled the crowd in with that crystal-clear voice of hers—the kind that cuts straight through the noise and lands right in your chest. You could feel the connection in every word she sang, especially on “Every Little Thing” where the whole crowd seemed to hold their breath before belting it back to her.
Pearce’s set had this mix of confidence and vulnerability that just felt special. She’s got that Kentucky charm that makes a massive stage feel like an intimate living room show, talking to the women in the audience like friends while still owning the spotlight with award-winning star power. One of the highlights was when she sang “Never Wanted to Be That Girl”—a song that earned her a Grammy—and you could see how much the lyrics meant not just to her, but to every woman swaying along in the crowd.
She mixed in newer songs from her album Hummingbird too, which felt like a window into the next chapter of her story—healing, growing, and still very much rooted in country tradition. It was empowering, it was fun, and it was everything Women’s Day should be about.
By the time she closed her set, it wasn’t just a concert anymore—it was a celebration. Carly Pearce gave us a Women’s Day to remember, and it felt less like an ending and more like a reminder that resilience and real storytelling will always have a place at the heart of country music.
