Carly Pearce dove into her personal story to write the songs on 29: Written in Stone, drawing inspiration from her divorce and the death of her longtime producer, Busbee.
The result was her most successful album cycle to date: On the heels of 29, Carly earned more awards and accolades than any year prior and was even invited to join the Grand Ole Opry. It also allowed fans to connect to her more than ever before, but that doesn’t mean that every listener was pleased by her personal lyrics.
On Twitter, a user named Donna posted a graphic reading, “Your personal problems require personal solutions, not public attention.” In the caption of her post, she directed Carly to follow its advice.
Carly, however, wasn’t fazed. In fact, she replied with a message inviting Donna to experience the power of her personal songs first-hand.
“It’s sad that you’re twisting my way of getting through the hardest season of my life for something negative,” the singer wrote on Twitter. “I welcome you to come to any of my shows and see the impact this album has made on people going through hard things. I’ll even leave you a ticket!”
29: Written in Stone came out in late 2021. Its third single, “What He Didn’t Do,” is currently climbing the country charts.
