Country music star Carly Pearce has admitted she has been drunk on stage before and wished she’d cancelled the gig.
Ironically, the admission came during a game of “sip or spill”, with the 36-year-old singer happy to admit she’d “over-served myself” before a show.

“I know exactly the show,” the Grammy-winner told Entertainment Tonight.
“If you were at my show on The 29 tour a few years ago in DC, I over-served myself, and I was like, ‘Uh oh, this is not gonna be good’.
“But I made it.”
The singer behind the hit You’re Drunk Go Home with Kelly Clarkson and Kelsea Ballerini also shared another truth bomb during the no-holds-barred chat.
When asked which song from her career she regrets releasing, Pearce didn’t miss a beat and named her duet Finish Your Sentences with her now ex-husband, Michael Ray.

“That didn’t age well,” she quipped of the 2020 song, released just months before their split in June that year.
The couple were married for eight months in a union the singer previously labelled “a very big mistake” during an appearance on The Person Who Believed In Me podcast in May.
Plugging her upcoming fifth studio album Honest Woman, Pearce labelled herself just that – an honest woman – as she answered almost all the questions with no holding back.
The single star even detailed a bad date where a man got so drunk she had to drive him home and then he faked a phone call to avoid an awkward goodnight.
“I once went on a date with a guy who got so blackout drunk that I had to drive him home, and when it was ‘time to kiss me’, he pretended to have a phone call,” she recalled.

“But I could see his lock screen – there was no call … Just tell me you don’t want to kiss me. I don’t want to kiss you either.”
Pearce said she’s been working on the album for two years, calling it a special project that sees her return to her roots.
“This is really, like, a return to my country roots — growing up loving traditional country music, loving bluegrass,” she said. “I just think it’s my best music.”
