Kelsey, Karlie + Kelly’s CMA performance won’t be a PT party | Biden News

Kelsey Ballerini, Carly Pearce and Kelly Clarkson will have one thing in common when they take the stage at the 2022 CMA Awards on Wednesday night (November 9).

they are all really good country singer

Well, there’s that other thing, and probably dozens of other similarities. Each of these stars has gotten over a divorce, but their CMA Awards song isn’t a pity party. “You’re Drunk, Go Home” is a song of empowerment that Pierce says is perfect for where he is in life.

“I think you’re seeing three strong women who can all stand together very comfortably and they’ve been through a lot,” she says, admitting that it’s a little strange to have three recent divorces on the same stage.

Ballerini added that usually she’s thinking too much about award show performances that she can’t enjoy the moment. Not so with this “girl power” moment.

“I’m probably going to feel the most confident and relaxed I’ve ever felt on stage, because they’re my friends. We all have a sense of humor, we’ve all been through a lot in our lives,” she says. “It’s going to be really fun to just stand there and have a fun moment with my friends.”

Just before the CMA Awards, Ballerini settled her divorce from co-star Morgan Evans. In 2020, Pierce and singer Michael Ray divorced, giving her plenty of song ideas for what would become 29: Written in stone album

Clarkson finalized her divorce from Brandon Blackstock earlier this year. Of the three, she is the only one who has produced children from her relationship. Of the three, Pierce is the only one who has since found love (or at least shared it with fans).

“I think it’s great to have a friend that’s in a very similar position in life and going through the same things,” Ballerini said of her longtime friend Pierce.

Pierce is nominated for five awards and Ballerini for one category at the 2022 CMA Awards. Also watch for Pearce’s performance of “Dear Miss Loretta” on the ABC broadcast.
