Remember the whole thing about Carly Pearce wanting to get with Michael Ray, so she slid into his DMs so he’d notice her?  Turns out there’s a whole chain of advice that led to it.

She heard about it from Cassadee Pope who used that technique on her current boyfriend, “Nashville” star Sam Palladio.  And Cassadee was tipped-off to it from Mandy Moore.

Cassadee said, “I was inspired by Mandy.  She met her husband through slipping into the DMs, so that was kind of like an inspiration.  So now I get to pass on the knowledge and experience to Carly.”

“I thought it was so funny that she talked about it.  I didn’t even remember that I told her that’s how I met Sam, or that that’s how we started dating.  I wasn’t telling her to give her advice I was just talking about how I met him.  And so it was really funny.”
