You might want to look a little closer at your favorite country stars these days, because they could be hiding something from you in plain sight.
Take for instance Kelsea Ballerini, who recently revealed to her fans that she has been rocking a wig this year while out on tour. In a social media video, she shed her faux locks, explaining that she did it in an effort to keep her hair from getting wrecked from product and hot tools, night after night.
As it turns out, she’s not the only one who is working with hair pieces.
Carly Pearce Wears Wigs on Stage
Carly Pearce revealed her wig habit in a recent video, joking that she felt very “called out” by Ballerini’s post. She noted that it takes her friend two minutes to take off her hair, while it only takes herself three seconds.
Evidently, Pearce isn’t as gentle when it comes to shedding her hair.
“My sweet friend Kelsea posted a two-minute video where she very delicately, very professionally, very correctly, very gracefully takes her wig off,” she starts off saying. “And I feel very called out.”
“I feel like I’m clearly not doing it right because this is how long it takes me to take my wig off,” she adds before grabbing her hair on either side of her head and ripping it off her head.
She pauses for dramatic effect before stopping the video.
“You can take the girl our of Kentucky, but you can’t take the Kentucky out of the girl,” she writes in the caption.
Fans Can’t Get Enough of Carly Pearce’s Wig Video
Pearce received a lot of love and support in the comments section of her video. She even had some fellow country singers chime in.
“But have you ever danced around & it slid off???” Caylee Hammack writes. “I keep getting told to wear wigs to save my hair BUT I’m so scared of swinging my head around & it flinging off into the crowd.”
“I just laughed out loud,” Lauren Alaina shares.
“HAHAHAHAH I LOVE YOU,” Ballerini responds.
“Pls tell me the wig has a name,” @amerliatimpson types, to which Pearce revealed, “Coco.”
All of the Women Who’ve Won Country Entertainer of the Year Awards
Entertainer of the Year is by and large the biggest award an artist can receive in the world of country music. To put it simply, winning that trophy means you crushed the country music game with music, touring, and festivals, and you likely also found mass appeal outside of the genre.
It’s a highly coveted award, and historically, it’s been handed out to more men than women. Just 10 women in country music have heard their names called at the end of the night at either the CMA Awards or the ACM Awards over the years.
Here’s a list of women who’ve won country Entertainer of the Year awards.
