Carly Pearce reveled in every little thing with her first appearance on NBC’s TODAY this morning (October 16) in New York City.
Hosts Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford introduced the breakout vocalist before she launched into the aching title track from her debut album Every Little Thing, available now on Big Machine Records.
Marking a serendipitous moment, Carly was reunited with her idol and one-time employer Dolly Parton. At just 16 years old, she convinced her parents to quit high school to perform in the Country show at Dollywood. The full circle moment validates Carly’s tenacity and passion that has long fueled her childhood dreams.
