Carly was recently celebrating her performance at CMA Fest on ABC TV, watching it when it aired while she was on an airplane. She was so excited about it that she started to tell people on the plane she was on TV. And it got a bit humbling as no one knew who she was.

Pearce shared a video clip of the moment on her Instagram. She approaches a flight attendant putting on gloves and says, "This is me on TV tonight." The flight attendant smiles. She then goes down the aisle and notes her appearance to another flight attendant who says, "That's awesome ... What's your name?" Carly continues to tell people as they look a bit uncomfortable, who tell her, "That's great." When she leaves the plane, a friend of hers says, "No one believes you."

She captioned the funny clip, "Watching @cma fest live on my flight & everyone at @southwestair keeping me humble not knowing who I am (laughing emojis) #CMAfest."

Not all country stars, or country superstars for that matter, can say they are Grammy winners. It's arguably the most coveted award in the music business and is voted on by music peers. Some artists never get a single Grammy nod in their careers, even though they sell millions and millions of albums worldwide.

That is not the case for Carly Pearce. She won her first Grammy earlier this year (2023) in the "Best Duo/Group Performance" category for "Never Wanted To Be That Girl," a duet with Ashley McBryde.

Carly said shortly after she won her Grammy with her friend Ashley, "We just learned that this is the first time that all females have won this award in this particular category. I always loved Ashley's music. I just was a fan and asked her if she'd write a song with me. So, to see this song do what it's done. And just continue to show the girls that are coming up behind us that you can write your truth, and you can do everything that you want in this business. I feel very, very lucky and to do it with somebody that I respect so much as an artist and as a person."

As Pearce celebrates her 33rd birthday today (4/24), we rank seven of her best songs, many of which led her to Grammy stardom, including the song she won the honor for.
