Carly Pearce Says “I Hope You’re Happy Now” Is An Apology …Carly Pearce’s I hope you’re happy broke billboards top 40 list last week “What makes it so beautiful is this is my apology to this person. I actually was pretty emotional at first when I saw the artwork of the heart and listening to the song because I genuinely didn’t mean to hurt this person and I genuinely hope the best for them and I genuinely hope that they’re happy now. So I will never exploit their name or poke fun at them in the way that I did the guy that hurt me. But this is a genuine feeling that I think he probably knew would eventually come out in some way in my music, because that’s what we do as songwriters. And I feel like what I went through so many people go through and what Lee is singing about so many people go through.”

Welcome to The List,
Shaboozey tells People magazine that his Nigerian parents shaped his hustle. His dad worked menial jobs in the U.S. after hardships in Africa, and his mom—who wasn't a fan of his music dream—now joins him onstage. From skeptical to stage mom? That’s a full-circle flex.
