CARTER FAITH SHARES COVER OF ADDISON RAE’S “FAME IS A GUN”

PERFORMING AT NEW YORK’S MERCURY
LOUNGE TONIGHT

HEADLINE TOUR UNDERWAY PLUS CONFIRMED
DATES WITH POST MALONE, CHRIS STAPLETON, GEORGE STRAIT

February 6, 2026—Rising star Carter Faith’s rendition of Addison Rae’s “Fame Is A Gun” is now streaming on all major platforms—listen here.

The release arrives as Faith continues her first-ever headline tour, The Cherry Valley Tour, with a stop at New York’s Mercury Lounge tonight, followed by shows at West Hollywood’s Roxy and Nashville’s Exit/In, among many others.

Following her headline dates, Carter will join Post Malone on his upcoming U.S. Big Ass Stadium Tour and will perform select dates with George Strait and Chris Stapleton. See below for complete tour itinerary.

The tour continues a breakout year for Carter, who shared her highly anticipated debut album, Cherry Valley, last fall via Gatsby Records/MCA. The LP debuted to widespread critical acclaim, with Cherry Valley named to Rolling Stone’s The Best 100 Albums of 2025, alongside additional accolades from Billboard, Stereogum, NPR Music, The Hollywood Reporter and many more. Carter will make her acting debut later this year in Netflix’s film Heartland, starring alongside Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain, and was named an Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist and Music Row’s 2025 Discovery Artist of the Year.

Carter recently collaborated with Jimmy Fallon on their holiday single “Ugly Sweater”—which debuted on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” this past Thanksgiving—and unveiled a new two-song holiday collection, A Cherry Valley Holiday.

Cherry Valley is a document of Carter’s time in Nashville, working chronologically through her breakout successes and gut-punching breakups, new loves and family dustups. It’s named for an imagined place, a road sign Carter once saw that came to signify her creative home, a sweet spot where her old school influences like Tammy Wynette, Nancy Sinatra, Pet Sounds and Revolver meet today’s country. The album synthesizes all that into a signature Carter Faith sound.

Critical acclaim for Cherry Valley…

“[The] rising country star’s excellent first record finds her navigating the turbulence of early adulthood, lost love, and the kind of over-the-top emotions (and irony) that come with life changes with an unmistakable country twang.”—Rolling Stone

“Whether the vibe is slinky and sultry or tender, the entire project feels like an instant classic, melding retro production and instrumentation with Faith’s singular perspectives.”—Billboard

“[Carter] embodies an ownership of the center square
of the puzzle that country, folk and rock synergy has timelessly inspired.”—The Tennessean

“Few artists in her generation are blending drama, humor, and a robust set of references so stunningly.”—American Songwriter

“Cherry Valley is a triumph.”—Nashville Scene

“Carter Faith’s debut feels like an open diary, one that
sets her apart as an artist unafraid of subtlety, in a world that often rewards noise.”—Holler

The songs on Cherry Valley span Carter’s journey from her North Carolina hometown to Nashville, with all the heartbreak, triumph and hazy nights in between. Carter and longtime producer Tofer Brownspent two years crafting tracks for the album before finally entering the studio in 2024 to record. All the while, Carter was working relentlessly to climb the ranks of country music, signing to MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, gracing the Opry stage a dozen times, sharing stages with idols including Willie Nelson, and racking up hundreds of millions of streams.

Following her Stagecoach debut and runs with Ella Langley and Carly Pearce, Carter joined Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild on the stage of the 18th Academy of Country Music Honors for a duet of “Lies Lies Lies” written by ACM Songwriter of the Year, Jessie Jo Dillon. Carter has shared stages across the country with Little Big Town, Marcus King, Noah Cyrus, and will join Tucker Wetmore on his 2026 Brunette World Tour for dates across the EU and UK in April, and Post Malone in the spring for The Big Ass Stadium Tour.
