Carly Pearce thanked an unexpected person as she accepted Breakthrough Video of the Year at Wednesday night's CMT Awards. The "Hide the Wine" singer was clearly emotional when her name was called out for the big win and she struggled to get through her acceptance speech. "I sat up in the stands so many years, wondering if I'd ever get here," Pearce said through tears. "From the time I was a very little girl, I just knew that [it] was my destiny to sing country music." "You're cleaning toilets and cleaning bed sheets, and it's not glamorous, but I did it...so that I could still pursue music and write songs and play gigs, but it was nasty!"
