Earlier this year, Carly Pearce won her first Grammy award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her duet with Ashley McBryde, "Never Wanted to Be That Girl." Though the trophy has yet to arrive at her doorstep, Carly already knows exactly where she's going to put it — and it's somewhere of sentimental value.

"I have like an area now that has all of my awards," says Carly, who has also won several CMA, CMT and ACM awards. "And my grandma, when she was little, used to sit around this really old radio from the '40s that my great-grandfather always listened to. And he loved country music and listened to WSM all the time."

"And my parents, for my induction into the Grand Ole Opry, they had it refurbished, the radio," she adds. "So it’s in my house now, and I think that the Grammy is gonna sit right on top of the radio.”

Carly's single "What He Didn't Do" is currently number three and ascending the country charts. The singer is also nominated for two CMT Music Awards: Female Video of the Year for "What He Didn’t Do," and CMT Performance of the Year with LeAnn Rimes and Ashley McBryde for their "One Way Ticket" performance on CMT Crossroads: LeAnn Rimes & Friends.

Putting on a headlining concert is no easy feat. The experience typically leaves the performer with a post-show euphoria that makes heading straight to bed an impossible task. Thus, some artists choose to head out for late-night meals, jam out with their band on the tour bus or binge their favorite shows. For Keith Urban, however, it's neither. 

In a recent interview with People, Keith revealed that his favorite post-concert activity is driving. 

"I love driving, and almost everywhere I go I'll rent a car so that I can drive myself everywhere," he shared. "I especially love driving after a gig. If it's just a little hike to wherever I'm staying, it's heaven to just be in the car on my own after a show. It's really nice coming off a stage with such an intense, rowdy environment to then immediately be in a car with something calm playing, or just some Ray Charles or something just completely chill."

"I like the quiet isolation," the "Days Gone By" singer added.

Keith is currently headlining his Las Vegas Residency, with shows happening in March, June, July and November. For a full list of dates and to get tickets, go to Ticketmaster.

"Fancy Like" hitmaker Walker Hayes reflects on fatherhood, loss, life and fame in his new songs "6 string american dream" and "if father time had a daughter."

In "6 string american dream," Walker takes a long, hard look at his life and the journey he's trekked, with its highs and lows.

"Yeah I’m a little bit higher up on that Nashville ladder/ But money didn’t fix anything that really matters/ My haters still say I can’t sing/ My marriage still needs counseling/ My sons don’t know how not to fight/ My daughter’s shorts are too short & too tight/ If I’m drinking honestly/ Still can’t drink responsibly/ I’m a 6 string American dream/ But I still wake up sad/ I still need Jesus/ And I still miss my dad," Walker sings in the candid chorus.

Meanwhile, in "if father time had a daughter," the singer begs the fictional Father Time to slow down the clock for dads so that their daughters don't have to grow up so quickly.

"Been waiting to get these two songs out for a long time," Walker says. "As I look at the body of work and the songs I’m sitting on, I think about what I want to say – and this is what I want to say to the world right now. These songs wreck me in different ways and it’s my hope that everyone that listens will leave feeling real feelings." 

Walker will kick off his The Duck Buck Tour on April 13 in Rosemont, Illinois. For a full list of dates and to get tickets, visit Walker's website.

Luke Combs is a lucky man, and he's reflecting on that in his new song, "5 Leaf Clover."

Penned by Luke, Chase McGill and Jessi Alexander, the track finds the country star counting his blessings for the beautiful life he has.

"I know I’m a lucky man, but I ain’t sure why I am/ 'Cause it ain’t like anyone deserves the world in the palm of their hand/ Now I hit my knees, thankful as can be/ But the one thing I can’t get over/ How’d a guy like me, who’d have been fine with three/ Wind up with a five-leaf clover?" Luke sings in the midtempo chorus.

"One of the 1st times I ever played 5 Leaf Clover, and y’all have politely let me know to release it ever since. Haha. I’m glad to say it’s now out everywhere, and I hope y’all love it!" Luke writes in an Instagram post alongside a performance video of "5 Leaf Clover."

"'I know I’m a lucky man but I ain’t sure why I am.' My wife, son, family, friends, and Y’ALL are some of the biggest reasons why I’m a lucky man," he adds. "And I’ll be forever grateful to y’all for giving me the opportunity to get to do something I love - create and play country music. Thank you!"

"5 Leaf Clover" is the latest preview of Luke's forthcoming album, Gettin' Old, which drops on March 24.
