Ellen on Tuesday (Feb. 2), performing her current single, Next Girl. The song is currently rising up the country charts and has already broken the Top 40 on
Billboard s Country Airplay chart.
Pearce s appearance on
Ellen is a fun, full-circle moment for the singer, as it s not the first time she s performed on that stage. Way back in 2014, a young Pearce was the backup singer for Lucy Hale during the latter artist s
Ellen performance of Lie a Little Better, off her debut album,
Road Between.
That particular performance wasn t the only time Pearce could be spotted singing backup for Hale. She actually toured with the singer and actor for three months that year, even moving to Los Angeles for the gig.

Jan. 21 (UPI) Randy Parton, the brother of Dolly Parton, has died at the age of 67, the country star has announced.
Dolly Parton confirmed her brother s death on Facebook Thursday, stating that he lost his battle with cancer.
Advertisement The family and I are grieving his loss but we know he is in a better place than we are at this time. We are a family of faith and we believe that he is safe with God and that he is joined by members of the family that have gone on before and have welcomed him with joy and open arms, Dolly Parton said in a statement, before describing Randy Parton s career.
America rarely, if ever, agrees on anything.
It’s a country fragmented by more or less everything – politics, religion, economics, among many, many others.
But if there is one thing America can agree on, it’s Dolly Parton.
The country star has throughout her decades-long career as a professional angel written critically-acclaimed songs on the same day (“I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene”), had theme parks built in her image and became our pandemic saviour by partly funding a coronavirus vaccine.
She’s a busy woman, no doubt, but being an LGBT+ ally is a full-time job for the living legend. To celebrate her 75th birthday (19 January), here are six times Parton proved she is a patron saint of queer allyship.
Dolly Parton s song catalog includes thousands of songs, including at least one fans won t get to hear until 2045. The unreleased, unheard track lives in a locked box at Dollywood s DreamMore Resort, to be shared 30 years after the resort s Summer 2015 opening.
In her new book
Songteller: My Life in Lyrics, Parton shares that someone on her team dreamed up the idea of the song vault as an intriguing marketing idea. They specifically asked that she write a song to put in the locked box created out of chestnut wood by her uncle Bill which now resides in a glass display case.
