Gwen Stefani & Carly Pearce Rock CMT Music Awards With “Just A Girl” Duet
on Apr 02, 2023
Carly Hinted At This Collaboration
Carly Pearce just finished traveling across the country as one of the supporting acts on Blake Shelton‘s Back To The Honky Tonk Tour. Shelton’s wife, Gwen Stefani, also tagged along for parts of the trek.
Before the tour wrapped up, Pearce told Taste of Country Nights how she’s a big fan of Stefani’s. They asked if she and Stefani would sing together before the tour ended.
Pearce played it coy. “No comment, because I don’t know, it could be happening,” she said.
That duet did end up happening…but not on Shelton’s tour. It happened during the CMT Music Awards!

Stefani is not new to the CMT Music Awards. She actually has a win under her belt! She and Shelton won the award for Collaborative Video of the Year in 2020 for “Nobody but You.”
Although Stefani has won a CMT Music Award before, her performance with Carly was her first time singing during the ceremony.
Carly & Gwen’s Duet
Fans had no idea what to expect from Stefani and Pearce’s performance at the 2023 CMT Music Awards. So everyone was anxiously waiting for them to hit the stage.
Finally, Stefani and Pearce appeared and started singing “Just a Girl.” The iconic song was released by Stefani’s former band No Doubt, in 1995.
Stefani started off singing on her own. Pearce joined her midway through the song…proving that country girls can rock too!
