Carly Pearce has confirmed the rumors that've been rampant for months on social media: she's dating her drummer, BC Taylor. This follows months of social media posts that show the couple getting cozy together while on the road.

"For me, it's never really been something I voiced, but I had just a really instant connection with him and it's really fun to get to share that world," Pearce told Taste of Country Nights.
Pearce added that those feelings have been there on her end for "probably longer than I want to admit."
In an interview with People, Pearce shared the benefits of dating someone in the same line of work.
"It's much nicer. It's a hard world out there, and it's hard to relate to people that don't know that world," she said (as quoted by Music Mayhem).
Sill, Pearce wasn't seeking a romance with one of her bandmates.
"I certainly never thought I would find myself in this situation, "but it just happened," she told People. "I'm happy. It's good."
Taylor revealed the relationship on Instagram fresh off Pearce's Oct. 4 performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon of "Country Music Made Me Do It."
"I am so proud to be with this woman," he wrote. "I played my first major late-night television show tonight and I did it with someone I love. I do not feel deserving of how blessed my life is, but that is just how God does it. He overdelivers and I am so thankful He does."
Pearce responded to the post with "BRB CRYING... I love you!!!"
Former pro baseball player Riley King confirmed in June that he'd broken up with Pearce after two years together.
"Yes, things didn't work out," King told Page Six. "Carly and I have parted ways and I wish her nothing but the best in both her career and personal life."
