Carly Pierce is not here for the hotties. During a recent interview with iHeartCountry's Ashley Morrison on US 103.5 in Tampa Bay, Florida, Pearce discussed a recent incident when she asked to have a disrespectful concertgoer removed from the audience during her set at WE Fest, held at Soo Pass Ranch in Detroit. Lakes, Minn.
The Kentucky native said during the interview, “I guess people are learning a new side of me, but boys do that all the time. This is no different. If anyone is going to disrespect my show, leave.” He also added, “So many people think they won't be reprimanded for their actions… It hit me at a time when my 'Kentucky' came out in full force, and I'm just, I'm so tired of being afraid to stand up for myself.”
On video clip From the show on social media, Pearce can be seen asking for the removal of an audience member who was rude during her performance, with Pearce saying: “Somebody get him out of here. I don't want him on my show. Get off my show.” Pointing to the offending audience member, Pearce said: “If you want to be unkind you should tell me and get the fk out of my show. I don't have time for d–ks. See you later!”
As the audience applauded the removal of the fan, Pearce he said on stage, “I don't care if it's for me. I don't care if it's for someone sitting next to you. I don't care if it's online. I don't care if it's a message. Words hurt. That hurt me. It wasn't nice and I'm here to tell you guys to be nice. Don't say mean things to people just to be mean. Don't think there are no consequences for this. It is not polite. It's not right, and I don't believe they should be on my show if they're going to talk to me like that… This is the first time I've sent someone from one of my shows, but if someone is going to be that mean and disrespect me, you're not welcome . Well, thank you for being so kind to me tonight and for showing up. And seriously, just be nice to people. Do not be mean. It's not worth it.”
Earlier this year, Pearce released her new album hummingbird and just revealed his upcoming headlining Hummingbird World tour, which kicks off October 3rd in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
