Thread: RCA Party for Kellie Today

RCA Party for Kellie Today
Brian Mansfield (USAToday) was at an RCA party for Kellie today

Read from the last tweet upwards for correct chronology.

@therealpickler "God, I love shoes! It's better than sex. I'm kidding. ... I'm not kidding."

And, yes, @therealpickler does know Elton John's name. She just got flustered.

@therealpickler drops the f-bomb twice after accidentally misstating Elton John's name. Oops, make that three times.

@therealpickler "They try to fool you with the calamari. They cut it up like onion rings."

@therealpickler wrote her songs for her Small Town Girl on the phone. She didn't meet most of her cowriters till the album was done.

Kenny Chesney was the first concert @therealpickler attended.

Question kids ask @therealpickler most often: "What's Simon like?" she also gets lots of proposals. From 9-year-olds. With no rings.

Kellie Pickler will do a cover of Keith Whitley's Don't Close Your Eyes--if she can get her mic fixed.

Kellie Pickler's doing "Didn't Y'All A** Know." At least that's what it says on her set list. Really, it's her new single

Kellie has 3 tattoos: her grandma's name w/ a halo on her foot, two stars on her left arm for USO tours, and "PRAY" on her right wrist.

Kellie Pickler's singing Making Me Fall in Love Again, "the only song [WSIX DJ] Gerry House plays off my record."

Kellie recently met Loretta Lynn. "She reminded me so much of my grandma. ... She wore the same color lipstick."

Kellie Pickler re-enacted gramma's soaps with her Barbies. "So they were all whores ... and they'd die and come back from the dead."

Kelli Pickler cried when she saw The Price Is Right wheel. It was made of cardboard, she says, and gramma would've been crushed.

Kellie's doing a short acoustic set with three members of her road band. First song was Best Days of Your Life, then Rocks Instead of Rice.

Kellie wrote The Best Days of Your Life and Red High Heels about the same guy. "I need to send him a thank you note."

Kellie says Taylor Swift is like the sister she never had. Although she does have a sister. "That sounds bad."

Kellie says the 1st song she ever learned was Hank Williams' My Bucket's Got a Hole in It."

Barefoot Kelie says: "I've got blisters. If you smell anything foul, it's them."

How @therealpickler got her record deal: She finished her 1st interview by telling Joe Galante, "Joe, give me a job. I need a job." He did.

'm at RCA Records' party for @therealpickler. Kellie just arrived. I got a hug (blush).
