Watch: Carly Pearce Powers Through When Sound System Gives Out Mid-Show

Carly Pearce powered through a performance despite technical difficulties.

The Grammy-winning country star recently took the stage in Glasgow, Scotland, where she said she experienced an issue with the sound while she was singing. Pearce wrote in a caption on Instagram on Tuesday (May 19), “even with our sound system giving out in the middle of the show, y’all stayed with us and showed UP.” Pearce said she “can’t wait to come back,” and for those who weren’t at the show, “swipe to the end to watch my high note take the sound system out lol.”

The 10th slide of Pearce’s Instagram post shows a clip of the country artist singing a high note when the sound suddenly stopped. She turned to her band as they all realize wha was happening. Without her mic, Pearce said to the crowd, “I was like, ‘did I just die?!’”

Fans in the audience laughed. Some commented that Pearce delivered “an absolutely fantastic show… How you dealt with the sound issue was amazing!” Another said it was “a memorable moment,” and Pearce “crushed it as always.” Rita Wilson hailed the performance “awesome in every way,” and sister duo Tigirlily Gold said Pearce “handled that like a champ.”

Pearce is on her “Inside the Dream Tour.” She’ll return to the U.S. later this month for upcoming performances at the historic Grand Ole Opry and CMA Fest in Nashville, Tennessee. The singer-songwriter has been stirring anticipation for her fifth studio album; however, she has not announced the release date as of publication time. In recent months, Pearce has released “You Can Have Him,” “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” with Riley Green, “Church Girl” and “Dream Come True.”
