Brad Paisley gets his revenge on Kellie Pickler

Monday, August 6, 2007 – Brad Paisley may have needed three months, but he got his revenge on opening act Kellie Pickler in a show over the weekend.

In early May, in Moline, Ill., Taylor Swift, Jack Ingram and Pickler joined up to play a prank on Paisley doing his current big hit "Ticks." Swift and Pickler went on stage in tick costumes, and Ingram soon joined them, wearing a "Jack's Pest Control" costume.

Paisley is a notorious prankster, so it was a matter of time before he would give it back.

This past weekend, Paisley took his revenge in front of a sold-out crowd in Camden, N.J. Paisley ran a new show intro for Pickler on the big screens. The intro featured doctored photos and a plastic surgeon's take on the question everyone wants to know about Pickler. The segment was called "You Be The Judge" and let the crowd of over 15,000 reach their own conclusion about the controversial subject of Pickler's much debated assets.

Pickler quickly retaliated by coming on stage, during Paisley's acoustic set, dressed in a trench coat, according to Paisley's publicist. She opened the coat and flashed Paisley saying, "You be the judge." To which Paisley replied, no pun intended, "In my line of work, there are definitely...perks."

Glen Campbell was in the audience at the show in Connecticut on Friday night and joined Paisley on stage during the encore, "Folsom Prison Blues." Paisley says, "I've always loved Glen's music, and this was truly a special moment for me. He sounded fantastic and played wonderfully."

CD reviews

CD review - The Woman I Am High quality music found on Kellie Pickler's "The Woman I Am" evidences how the country singer's last album, "100 Proof," was no fluke. The title track, which Pickler co-wrote with husband Kyle Jacobs, explains how this woman will always have a whole lot of traditional country in her blood. "Sometimes I cry at night/Fall to pieces with Patsy Cline." Many of this 12-song album's best material are also ones Pickler helped pen. They include the ...
CD review - Wheelhouse Brad Paisley isn't content to keep doing the same old. In fact, this is probably the least traditional country outing in his career. Yet, a few things remain intact - great guitar playing and singing and a sense of humor without being too kitschy. In fact, Paisley manages to combine the ultra serious with his typical sense of humor. The seriousness is never more apparent from Paisley than on the controversial Accidental Racist with LL Cool J, who helped write and perform it. ...
CD review - 100 Proof Until now, Kellie Pickler has become known in country circles more for her bubbly, Dolly Parton-esque personality than for her singing. Granted, she has had some strong singles, notably the autobiographical I Wonder, but one could be forgiven for lumping her in the pile of most former American Idol contestants who hover in and around country music, but never really make an impact. Somewhere after the release of her sophomore album, however, she started mentioning in interviews that she was ...
