Country music star Carly Pearce<\/a> has admitted she has been drunk on stage before and wished she\u2019d cancelled the gig.<\/p>\n

Ironically, the admission came during a game of \u201csip or spill\u201d, with the 36-year-old singer happy to admit she\u2019d \u201cover-served myself\u201d before a show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know exactly the show,\u201d\u00a0the Grammy-winner<\/a> told Entertainment Tonight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you were at my show on The\u00a029\u00a0tour a few years ago in DC, I over-served myself, and I was like, \u2018Uh oh, this is not gonna be good\u2019. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut I made it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer behind the hit You\u2019re Drunk Go Home with Kelly Clarkson and Kelsea Ballerini also shared another truth bomb during the no-holds-barred chat.<\/p>\n

When asked which song from her career she regrets releasing, Pearce didn\u2019t miss a beat and named her duet Finish Your Sentences with her now ex-husband, Michael Ray.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat didn\u2019t age well,\u201d she quipped of the 2020 song, released just months before their split in June that year.<\/p>\n

The couple were married for eight months in a union the singer previously labelled \u201ca very big mistake\u201d during an appearance on The Person Who Believed In Me podcast in May.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI once went on a date with a guy who got so blackout drunk that I had to drive him home, and when it was \u2018time to kiss me\u2019, he pretended to have a phone call,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I could see his lock screen \u2013 there was no call … Just tell me you don\u2019t want to kiss me. I don\u2019t want to kiss you either.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pearce said she\u2019s been working on the album for two years, calling it a special project that sees her return to her roots.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is really, like, a return to my country roots \u2014 growing up loving traditional country music, loving bluegrass,\u201d she said. \u201cI just think it\u2019s my best music.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Country music star Carly Pearce has admitted she has been drunk on stage before and wished she\u2019d cancelled…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":887157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-887156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/887156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=887156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/887156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/887157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=887156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=887156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=887156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
