“I’ve seen too many comments about this being some sort of “hint” towards 666 or Satan to not comment,” wrote Pearce. “First of all, this was the parking spot for my tour bus at CMA fest & I believe it is 668.”
“I am a devout Christian who takes PRIDE in using my platform to point people towards JESUS. So, for anyone wondering … there are absolutely ZERO underlying messages except a girl excited to be playing the big stage,” the Christian singer added.
Fans also came to her defense and responded to her statement, with one replying on X, “Why can’t a sparkly outfit … amazing boots & a beautiful singer/songwriter/person be just that?”
