“I have always been transparent and honest about every part of my life so I feel like this deserves the same honesty,” she said in an Instagram video.
“You guys know that I’ve been dealing with some health issues, and, through that I have developed something called pericarditis, which is a heart issue,” she added.
“We have all decided that it is in my best interest as I’m healing to alter my shows a little bit.
“So if my shows look a little bit different, just know it’s because I have to keep my heart rate under control right now.

‘NEVER ALONE’
Just two days before sharing her diagnosis, Carly informed fans that she had been facing some “scary times.”
The singer shared an Instagram post of her outside with her dogs, where she noticed a small butterfly had landed on the stroller.
“It’s been a tough week,” she revealed in the caption.
“When my grandma was dying years ago, she told me to look for her in the butterflies.
“On our walk this morning, this butterfly landed on me and on June & made me realize we truly are never alone in scary times. I see you, mamaw,” she continued.
Carly has been dating her drummer, B.C. Taylor, over the past year following her split from Riley King.
Just hours before her latest video, Carly shared an adorable clip on her Instagram Story of B.C. playing the “drums” with her dog.
The singer was previously married to Michael Ray from 2018 to 2020.
