Carly Pearce hilariously responds to Kelsea Ballerini’s wig reveal
Carly Pearce and Kelsea Ballerini hilariously show how they care for their real hair.
Country Stars Show Off Humor and Friendship Online
Carly Pearce and Kelsea Ballerini are proving that country music isn’t the only thing they have in common. On May 2, Pearce shared a playful Instagram video that not only showcased her sense of humor but also highlighted her friendship with fellow singer Ballerini.
The “Truck on Fire” singer, 35, started her post glamorously seated in a bathroom, hair and makeup flawless. But the polished moment quickly gave way to a comedic twist: a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it snippet of a wig removal — originally shared by Ballerini — followed by Pearce’s own dramatic (and far less graceful) wig reveal.
Calling Out the Wig Removal “Standards”
Set to the opening notes of Hannah Montana‘s “This Is the Life,” Pearce gave a shoutout to Ballerini’s original April 17 TikTok post, where the “Heartfirst” singer gracefully removed her wig.
“My sweet friend Kelsea posted a two-minute video where she very delicately, very professionally, very correctly, very gracefully, takes her wig off,” Pearce explained. “And I feel called out.”
She then yanked off her wig in one swift motion — no wig cap, no ceremony, just pure comedy. With a deadpan stare into the camera, she ended the moment by casually reaching for her phone and cutting the video.
Fans and Friends React
Pearce captioned the post, “You can take the girl out of Kentucky, but you can’t take Kentucky out of the girl 😂,” and tagged Ballerini, even revealing the wig’s name: “Coco.”
The video quickly gained attention and laughs, with fans and fellow artists flooding the comments:
- “WAIT A DAMN MINUTE,” one stunned fan wrote.
- Lauren Alaina chimed in: “I just laughed out loud.”
- Ballerini responded with, “HAHAHAHAH I LOVE YOU.”
The moment not only entertained fans but also offered a lighthearted glimpse into the candid, supportive relationship between two of country music’s biggest stars.
