Carly Pearce<\/a>\u00a0is having a full circle moment with <\/span>Lucy Hale<\/a>. Only ET was on the set of the 33-year-old country singer’s music video shoot for “We Don’t Fight Anymore,” which stars the\u00a0<\/span>Pretty Little Liars<\/em><\/a>\u00a0alum, Pearce’s longtime friend who she first met a decade ago when she served as the actress’ backup singer.<\/span><\/p>\n “I met Lucy on the set of her music video at the Grand Ole Opry, which is so insane. It was the first time I’d ever stepped on the stage,” Pearce told ET. “It freaked me out because I never wanted to stand on the stage until I was playing myself. Now I’m a member, which is wild. I remember just being really excited to be there because I was working a lot of odd jobs and was really sad and needed to fall back in love with music. She helped me do that.”<\/span><\/p>\n Pearce described that time in her life as “so fun,” much of which she credits to Hale, 34.<\/span><\/p>\n “I was in my early 20s and just thought I had totally made it,” she remembered. “It really did make me fall back in love with music, having somebody that was around my age that I could just go have fun with and be on a stage and get to be a part of a band that I love. We really had a wonderful time.”<\/span><\/p>\n “She didn’t even have to speak to me back then and she built a friendship with me very early on,” Pearce added of Hale. “She treats everybody like they’re her friend and I think if she can do it everybody should.”<\/span><\/p>\n Now, Pearce counts Hale as a “dear friend.”<\/span><\/p>\n “We’ve developed a really strong friendship and she’s been such a champion of mine and my music,” Pearce said of Hale, before sharing how she got her friend to star in her music video.<\/span><\/p>\n “I just asked her if she wanted to be in the video and have the biggest full circle moment ever and she so graciously said yes,” she said of the video, which also stars Shiloh Fernandez, whom Pearce said she’s “really excited” about.<\/span><\/p>\n
