Carly Pearce, Maren Morris and Kelsea Ballerini have a lot in common.

They're all solo country stars. Also, they are all married or engaged to fellow country music artists Michael Ray, Ryan Hurd and Morgan Evans, respectively.

Carly shares, “Those girls have walked every situation that I’ve walked and there’s just a sisterhood there. Most people don’t understand because you haven’t lived what we live and you can’t really ask certain people questions.”

Pearce says it’s nice to have girlfriends who understand her life. “We can all bond over what we deal with as female artists in the industry. And it’s just nice to feel like you’re not alone sometimes.”

The country stars often have "girl's night outs" when their schedules allow for it, and Maren and Kelsea recently got together.

Kelsea Posted to Instagram, "There’s enough to go around // @marenmorris."

In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
