Carly Pearce's real last name is Slusser. She uses the last name Pearce because of two very important people in her life, her grandparents. "I keep them alive in my logo," says Carly. "Pearce is not my legal name but I took it because of my grandparents. And their lifelong dream was to see me do this for a living and also the Opry." Carly's grandparents would be very proud of her recent induction into the Grand Ole Opry. To celebrate the moment, Carly's mom had two Barbie dolls made in her image, wearing the outfits she wore on stage at the Opry during her induction.
