Carly Pearce has no problem sharing her personal life and upcoming marriage to Michael Ray with fans.

Carly, who shares much with fans on social media, says, “I think every artist is different and everybody’s approach to it is different. And I’ve just chosen that I want to take you along on my life.”

Michael is just as open about Pearce on his social media, and she says, “It’s easier for me to just make everything one thing and it’s easier when you have somebody who does it, too. It’s fun for me now to have somebody that I feel like people know, to be able to hear these songs and see them almost in a different light because we’ve been so open with everything.”

Carly will release her sophomore album later this year, featuring her current single, “Closer to You.”
