Carly Pearce Suffers Thumb Injury from Ranch Dressing Bottle Snap

Carly Pearce, the 35-year-old country singer, recently shared a bizarre accident on TikTok that left her requiring stitches for a thumb injury. The incident occurred after her concert, as she attempted to open a glass bottle of ranch dressing. According to her video, the bottle snapped, causing a shard of glass to cut her thumb. The injury was initially dismissed by her fiddle player and assistant, but as she noticed blood dripping from her hand, she sought medical attention. Paramedics at the concert venue assessed her injury, confirmed there was no glass in the wound, and advised her she needed a few stitches. Pearces was then taken by ambulance to the hospital, where she underwent an X-ray to ensure there were no complications. While at the hospital, she mentioned that the location of the stitches, which are on the crease of her thumb, has required her to adjust how she performs everyday tasks, such as applying makeup. Despite the injury, she expressed her gratitude for not having a more serious wound. The situation has sparked humor among her fans, many of whom commented on the bizarre nature of the incident. Pearce has several performances lined up, including a show in Costa Mesa, California, and an appearance at the ACM Honors in Tennessee later this month. She also recently concluded her Hummingbird world tour, having performed on the main stage at Stagecoach, a festival she has longed to return to after a decade hiatus. In her video, she also reminded her fans to be careful when opening glass bottles, humorously referencing her mother’s advice about not being a ‘bull in a china cabinet.’
