Kellie Pickler's Red Carpet Memories

10/18/2007 Stephen L. Betts   More than 5,000 screaming fans welcomed Kellie Pickler to the Dorton Arena in Raleigh, N.C. on Wednesday night (10/17). In addition to an hour-plus-long show, Kellie took photos and signed pictures, jeans and red high heel shoes for the nearly 1,000 fans who hung around after the show. She also shared stories on radio station WQDR, including her reflections of Tuesday night’s ASCAP Awards in Nashville, where she received a songwriter award for “Red High Heels,” one of the most played songs of the past year. Kellie recalled standing on the red carpet at the ASCAP Awards in 2006 as a brand new artist: “Last year on the red carpet, I got pooped on by a bird, and last night I got an award, so I’d say it’s definitely been a better year.” Tonight (10/18), Kellie heads to Birmingham for the first show of a three-city weekend tour with Rascal Flatts. On Friday, they’ll play Philips Arena in Atlanta, where Kellie will be interviewed by CNN’s Robin Mead. On Saturday night (10/20) they’ll be in Greenville, SC. And on Sunday (10/21), Kellie will sing the National Anthem in Dallas as the Cowboys take on the Minnesota Vikings.   CountryHound – Country Music Fan’s Best Friend
