The evening included special guest performances and heartfelt tributes.
Carly Pearce wrapped up her extensive Hummingbird World Tour with an unforgettable final show. The singer performed to a sold-out audience at Nashville’s iconic Ryman Auditorium, marking the end of her 40-plus-date tour.
The evening was filled with surprise guest appearances, touching moments, and a carefully curated setlist that honored the close of her Hummingbird era, which began with the release of her acclaimed fourth studio album.
Reflecting on the night in an Instagram post, Pearce shared, “We played the last night of the Hummingbird World Tour at the only venue I wanted—the Ryman. It was everything I hoped for and more. Officially closing this chapter, but I’m beyond excited for what’s ahead.”
The show’s setlist showcased key moments from Pearce’s career, including her Grammy-nominated hit “We Don’t Fight Anymore” featuring Chris Stapleton, which recently earned Platinum certification from the RIAA. She also celebrated her newly double Platinum single “What He Didn’t Do.” Earlier that week, Pearce received plaques for both achievements backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, following her tribute performance to Loretta Lynn during the Opry 100 Honors.
The excitement continued with surprise guest appearances throughout the night. Little Big Town, who will be touring with Pearce on the upcoming Summer Tour ’25, joined her on stage to perform “Girl Crush” and “Boondocks.”
Rising star Carter Faith, who supported Pearce on select dates of the Hummingbird World Tour, also joined for a powerful duet of Pearce’s Grammy-winning song “Never Wanted To Be That Girl.”
One especially touching moment came when Pearce paid tribute to Dolly Parton with a beautiful rendition of “Jolene.” She then introduced the Opry’s custom Dolly Parton microphone stand, adorned with rhinestones, butterflies, and signature pink and purple accents. This special mic stand was created for the Opry’s 100th anniversary as a tribute to one of country music’s legends.
This tribute held personal significance for Pearce, whose bond with Dolly Parton runs deep. At 16, Pearce left home to perform at Dollywood, and in a full-circle moment, Parton surprised her with a Grand Ole Opry invitation in 2021. Pearce was officially inducted into the Opry family on August 3, 2021.
Before Pearce took the stage, the evening began with an acoustic writers’ round featuring Nashville songwriters Jordan Reynolds, Emily Weisband, and Lauren Hungate, all of whom will contribute to Pearce’s forthcoming fifth studio album.
Though Pearce has closed out her headlining tour, she’s set to return to Nashville soon. On June 7, she will appear as a special guest at Nissan Stadium, joining Rascal Flatts for a highly anticipated collaboration.
Earlier that day, Pearce announced the return of her 4th annual Carly’s Closet charity pop-up event. Scheduled from 3 to 5 PM at Music City Center, fans will have the opportunity to shop pieces from Pearce’s personal wardrobe—including clothing, shoes, and accessories—with all proceeds benefiting the CMA Foundation.
