Carly Pearce hosted the ACM Honors last night (8/24) in Nashville, and while on stage, she fangirled out a bit and told Shania Twain, "I peed my dress."

Carly admitted the on-camera moment on her Twitter. She wrote, "Well, I just told @ShaniaTwain into the microphone that I "peed my dress" that she gave me a standing ovation after my performance to everyone at @theryman #acmhonors #ultimatefangirl."

While Shania has yet to respond to the Tweet, LeAnn Rimes liked it.
