"I'm doing really good," the singer told me. "My recurrent pericarditis has been really stable. I feel like fans are starting to watch me get back into really good cardiovascular health with my running, and I'm back kind of running paces that I haven't since that diagnosis in 2023. So it's really exciting. I feel really good, and I'm really grateful."
What is Pericarditis?According to the Mayo Clinic, Pericarditis is swelling and irritation of the thin, saclike tissue surrounding the heart. This tissue is called the pericardium. Pericarditis often causes sharp chest pain.
Pearce has been open with fans about the impact the condition has had on her life and career.
While she's feeling much better now, she says she has experienced smaller flare-ups since the more serious episode that prompted her to publicly discuss her health.

She said, "A couple summers ago, I had quite a few episodes, and I've had little flares. That's what they call them. I've had flares since the big one where I had to kind of go public with it. But everything's been super manageable, so I can handle it if it's manageable."
And although she's experienced some difficult moments with pericarditis, Pearce's latest update is positive. "I feel really good," she says, adding that she's "really grateful" for where she is now.
