PHOTOS: Taylor Swift Brings the Country Thunder

Yeehaw! Country cutie Taylor Swift brought the house down with her performance at the 17th Annual Country Thunder USA music festival in Twin Lakes, Wisc. on Thursday.

June 20th, 2009 / Author: OK! Staff
She’s only 22, but Kellie Pickler is already a classic rags-to-riches story: Raised in a North Carolina trailer park, she burst onto the music scene in 2006 as an American Idol finalist. Two albums later (and 30 pounds lighter), the country music queen’s crisscrossing the continent with Taylor Swift’s Fearless tour – and sleepin on her bus.
"My little house on wheels," she says. "Funny. As a child I thought, ‘I’m going to be a big country star so I can get out of this damn trailer.’ Then I go and get one. I mean it’s a $1 million trailer but it’s still a trailer."
OK! caught up with the "Best Days of Your Life" singer at Nashville’s lush Cheekwood Botanical Garden.
You’re touring with Taylor Swift. Why sleep on the bus?
I don’t want to sleep on somebody else’s mattress, so even five-star hotels are horrid to me. I like sitting on my own toilet that no one else has sat on. I have a huge king-size bed and my little Chihuahua, Moo Moo, sleeps with me.
Don’t you get lonely, just traveling around America in a bus?
No, I don’t like people, so I don’t get lonely [laughs]. I enjoy my own company. I talk to myself and I have Moo Moo, which is good enough.
How are you and Taylor getting along?
She’s like a little sister to me. It’s great having another girl on the road with me. And we don’t have many females who can headline at the moment – she’s the only girl in the country who can sell out arenas, she’s one of the few!
Women in the country music scene seem to stick together.
Absolutely! Country music has embraced me and nurtured me. That was a great trade for me: I left my family in North Carolina, but got a new family in Tennessee. A lot of people come here from broken homes and Nashville becomes their family – and that was my case.
You have a strained relationship with your mother. Do you have a mom-type figure in your life at the moment?
Yeah, I think God has definitely brought certain people into my lifef to fill certain voids. I’ve found great women to love me and pray for me and support me. Dolly Parton – she is my favorite. She is the reason I fell in love with country music. I love her. She handles herself with a lot of grace.

So what’s on your wish list? Do you have a goal for five years’ time?
I would love to cross over into television and film… and I have to meet Clint Eastwood. Of course I would love to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry. It would be such a huge honor. I also need to go skydiving and scuba diving. I’ll be the first one to do something crazy. I’ve always kinda been a tomboy. My grandmother would try to dress me up in a pretty dress but I’d come home with the fabric ripped, holes in my panty hose and gum in my hair. I was not a lady. I would fall out of trees and climb on the roof.
Any advice you would give other young women growing up today?
Find what makes you happy and make it happen. And never settle –like, don’t settle for some loser guy who treats you like s–t; go find a man. Somebody who knows how to fix things. Not someone worried about breaking a nail. I can’t date someone who wears more makeup than I do!

Today We’re Loving…
April 8th, 2009
In these gloomy times, you could dress for recession in a length of sack cloth accessorized with a grimace.
Or you could go the other way, and glam like you’ve never glammed before (we find that if you shriek "Diamonds!" with enough abandon, you can’t hear the stock market crashing).
And so today we’re loving the Vamp by Fetty collection, the new jewelry line from Justin Tranter of glittering glam rock lunatics Semi Precious Weapons.
It’s a range of diamond-studded, oxidized-sterling earrings and necklaces from the brand beloved on celebs including Lindsay Price, Kellie Pickler, Taylor Momsen, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
So with pairs ranging from $115 to $295 available at Barneys later this month, you can now officially start turning this economic meltdown into a disco inferno.
Stars Get Dressed To Kilt
March 31st, 2009
Kellie Pickler may be asking her singer-songwriter boyfriend Kyle Jacobs to don a kilt after her experience at the Dressed To Kilt fashion show held Monday at NYC’s M2.
“I think it’s sexy,” the American Idol alum says in her trademark Southern drawl. “I think it’s great. Real men wear kilts.”
What does she like most about it?
“What’s not underneath, so I hear,” she laughs.
Luckily, Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick is happy to oblige and don the evening’s fashion must-have.
“I’m going to be shy and wear my underwear,” the proud Brit says.
Is he wearing designer underwear?
“Oh, I don’t know. I can’t remember what ones I put on.”
(Stumped!)
Sean Connery, who hosts the event, shares his thoughts on current Bond Daniel Craig.
“He’s excellent,” the five-time James Bond says in a Scottish brogue. “Excellent. I taught him everything he knows!”
Who should be the next Bond girl?
“I don’t know any girls,” the Edinburgh native laughs.
The grandfatherly actor, 78, has been wed to Micheline since 1975.
What’s the secret to a happy marriage?
“I’m divorcing next year,” he yuks.
Here comes Real Housewives of NYC Alex McCord with hubby Simon van Kempen. She’s donning a tartan she got when she was 19. Her requirement for men in kilts?
“The man wearing the kilt has to have good legs,” she says.
Andie MacDowell and daughters Rainey and Sarah Margaret slide through, regaling everyone with their Scottish heritage. They hail from the Dowell clan, which dates back to the 1700s.
Time for the show…
Dressed to Kilt benefits the Wounded Warriors program and the Paralyzed Veterans of America through Friends of Scotland, a non-profit corporation dedicated to advancing contemporary Scottish interests in the United States.
