Ashley Cooke opened the evening with an acoustic set, including her No. 1 hit “your place.” Pearce then performed a full band set that included “Dream Come True,” “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay,” “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” which she performed with Cooke, and more.
“I am honored to be here tonight to raise money and awareness for needy pets in our community,” shared Pearce from stage. “Pet Community Center does tremendous work to provide veterinary care, food, supplies, and spaying and neutering services to the most vulnerable pets in Nashville. As a dog mom of Johnny and June, I am here to honor them tonight!”
