Kellie Pickler is very comfortable being a country singer and isn’t planning on making her music more pop-friendly in the near future.  Nor is she going to release dance remixes.
“I love country — that’s what I grew up listening to,” said Pickler. “As long as I’m played on country radio, I don’t care if any other stations play my music or not. If they want to play my music, that’s fine. But I’m not changing it for them.  I don’t care if I’m on pop stations.”

I’m always really happy to hear that someone is happy and confident with themselves.  Good …read more

It’s no secret that American Idol alum, Kellie Pickler, and Taylor Swift are very close friends.  They’ve written songs together, toured together and are spotted hanging out all the time so I wasn’t surprised when Kellie showed her frustration of Kanye West stealing what should have been an amazing moment from Taylor at the 2009 MTV Video Awards last night.
Kellie tweeted, "Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls, bi—! don’t mess w/my lil sis!!"
She kept her message short and to the point but the original American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, let loose on her …read more

Former American Idol finalist, Kellie Pickler, was on the Today show where she talked about touring with her best friend, Taylor Swift, and how they wrote her hit single “Best Days of Your Life” on the tour bus after Kellie started ranting and venting about guy trouble.
Kellie also discussed her charitable work with Soles for Souls which is an organization that provides shoes to children in need.  She explained that it was something that was important to her since so many diseases begin with our feet and that those who don’t have footwear can cut themselves and bacteria can enter …read more

I obviously don’t know her personally but my impression is that Kellie Pickler is just a sweet, sweet girl.  The former American Idol finalist is helping a family in Ohio in a very big way – she and the crew from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition surprised them with a new home!
The family definitely needed it.  Medal-winning Paralympian, James Terpenning, is a hero in many senses of the word.  He not only continues to strive for excellence in spite of his physical obstacles but he also  mentors children and soldiers who have become disabled.
As is the case with many selfless people, …read more

Kellie Pickler looked comfortable and cute on Day 2 of the 17th Annual Country Thunder USA music festival.  I know this was last week but I only spotted the pictures today.
Did anyone get to go?  It’s looks like it was a lot of fun but, then again, music festivals always look like you’d have a great time. 

Former American Idol finalist, Kellie Pickler, performed at the 2009 Country Stampede Music Festival which took place from June 25-28.  The four-day event is the largest annual music festival in Kansas and, this year, it featured a great lineup including Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton among others.
It looks like Kellie really enjoyed herself which is great.  It’s so important to love what you do and I always hate to see someone performing who looks like they’d rather be somewhere else.

Former American Idol finalist, Kellie Pickler, has revealed (watch the video) that she has been dating Kid Rock for more than a year but the couple have managed to keep their relationship a secret.  What do you think of this?  I would have never paired these two up in a million years.

If she’s happy then I’m happy for her.  I just can’t get over his marriage to Pamela Anderson and how abruptly she filed for divorce.  Hopefully, things are different with Kellie.

Kellie Pickler looked gorgeous at the 2009 CMT Music Awards last night in both her red carpet dress and the outfit she wore during her performance. 

She performed “Best Days Of Your Life” and was nominated for Female Video of the Year and Video of the Year for “Don’t You Know You’re Beautiful” but ended up losing both times to her close friend, Taylor Swift, for her hugely popular “Love Story.”

Watch Kellie’s performance below. I think that she’s definitely gotten better at singing this song live but she still had a few shaky moments. Overall, it was pretty …read more

American Idol alum, Kellie Pickler, looked adorable in these backstage shots of her rehearsing for her performance on the 2009 CMT Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee which are less than two hours away!  

Kellie is nominated for “Female Video Award” for “Don’t You Know You’re Beautiful.”  I sing that song constantly but I doubt she’ll win since she’s up against Taylor Swift for the hugely popular “Love Story” video.  Oh well.  It’s nice to be nominated! 

American Idol finalist, Kellie Pickler, got up on stage with Kid Rock at the 2009 Bama Jam which took place in Enterprise, Alabama over the weekend.  The lineup was incredible and included stars like Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton and Alan Jackson.

It looks like Kellie had a great time at the annual music festival.  Check out this cute picture of Kellie wearing a Hank Williams Jr. helmet with a member of Brooks and Dunn and Kid Rock.
