NASHVILLE, TN (January 9, 2019) – Just days into 2019 and CARLY PEARCE is already on fire, picking up her first iHeartRadio Music Awards nomination and becoming the only female in the Best New Country Artist category! The award show celebrates the most-played artists and songs throughout 2018 across their platforms and will air on FOX (8-10pm ET/PT tape-delayed) March 14 live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
 
“I feel so honored to be nominated for Best New Country Artist this year. iHeartRadio has been such a key part to the unbelievable last 18 months of my life, so this feels very full circle,” expressed Carly.
