"WILKESBORO, N.C. – Kellie Pickler kicks off the 2016-2017 Walker Center Season on Friday, Sept. 16, 2016, singing her hits, including “Red High Heels,” “Small Town Girl,” “100 Proof,” “I Wonder,” “Things that Never Cross a Man's Mind,” “Don't You Know You’re Beautiful,” “Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You,” and “Best Days of Your Life.” This performance is sponsored by Hardee’s.
Kellie Pickler was born in Albemarle, North Carolina, and then raised by her grandparents after her mother abandoned her at a very young age. She graduated from North Stanly High School where she was a cheerleader and beauty queen.
In 2005, Kellie was selected for “American Idol” and headed to Hollywood. While she finished sixth in the contest, Kellie had won the hearts of country music fans worldwide. Kellie gained many more fans when she and her partner, Derek Hough, wowed the judges on season 16 of “Dancing with the Stars.” She and Hough won the competition!
An active supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and many other charities, Kellie has said, “Happiness has been about surrounding myself with positive people who love me, inspire me, and lift me up. If I take in positive energy, then that's what I put back out into the universe.”
