Ashley McBryde - Never Wanted To Be That Girl (with Carly Pearce) [Live From ACM Awards]



Stay in Touch with Ashley!

GRAMMY, CMA and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in biker bars – and it shows. The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Her follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was also honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. Her collaborative project Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and Benjy Davis earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee. The project earned McBryde her second consecutive nomination for CMA Album of the Year, along with Music Video of the Year for “Light On In The Kitchen” from her latest critically acclaimed album, The Devil I Know.

Ashley is the reason to do what you know you were born to do

[spenny]

Ashley is by far and away the best female vocalist in country music today. Hope she is finally getting the recognition she deserves.

[tammyhooper]

This is country music at its best. Storytelling and amazing vocals. These ladies should duet again as their voices are pure magic together.

[kellyanderson]

never thought I would see a female country singer with tattoos. You go Ashley McBryde!

[billyclinton]

Carly Pearce is great- but Ashley McBryde is extraordinary! My goodness! 😍

[MW-wclo]

She is truly a country singer! She hasn’t changed even though I’m sure she has been pressured to do so. I appreciate the fact that she is a class act. A lot of what is coming out of Nashville is pure garbage. It seem to straddle country, pop, and even rap. It will appeal to some folks but it’s not country! Some have sold out but Ashley has stayed true. Country is Life! It’s hard work, love and loss, family, friends, country and faith! I wish you ever success Ashley and my hope is that Nashville will get it right. You truly are a star.keep on shining Lady!

[bretpope]

Folks... this is what modern country music, that's actually COUNTRY, sounds like. GLORIOUS!

[cwester]

Truly can't find the words for this performance & this song...But it's definitely one of the very BEST Country songs I've heard in year's! It truly hits my heart and many others I'm sure...

[evakinnison]

I love this song, I like both Carly and Ashley, but Ashley has some awesome pipes on her, song writers need to pitch her their songs. Ashley McBride is one of the best singers out in country music right now, she has a soulful sound.

[lindacolebank]

I am still listening to this I love it
Love both of you
Linda from Parkersburg WV ❤️🎵

[johnwalden]

Now these two are what TRUE TALENT sounds like. When an artist sounds the same live as they do on a recording that's real talent.

[elizabethgasko]

The expressions on Ashley's face says it all.

[sledgehammerrdbdepatriot]

ASHLEY MCBRIDE YOU ARE THE BEST FEMALE VOCALIST, YOUR TIME AND RECOGNITION IS COMING BABY GIRL.

[tammybunnell]

My daughter went through this, and this song came on the radio and she cried herself sick!

[melvinsmiley]

Both great performances. I like how Carly intentionally holds back….letting Ashley project her sound louder. They Really complement each other’s strengths.

[paulaosborne]

These two ladies are amazing together as well as on their own. As far as new female country artists go, they are the best!❤❤
