NASHVILLE, TN. (Top40 Charts/ BNA Entertainment) - Fashion comes at a high price, and self-admitted shoe fanatic Kellie Pickler found that out on stage this weekend while on tour with Brad Paisley's Bonfires & Amplifiers Tour. Just as she began singing her 'girls' anthem,' 'Red High Heels,' Kellie realized her red high heels had punctured through the carpet and were jammed in the grates on the catwalk. 'I was trying to be sly at first and was wiggling my feet, but nothing…and then I started pulling harder and harder but they wouldn't budge,' said the North Carolina native. 'So when I sang the line 'I've been sittin' around…' well, I sat down on the stage. 'So I've got the microphone in one hand and the other hand I'm pulling on my heel. I was able to get one shoe out, but all the people sitting near the stage can see what's happened and they are laughing at me and I'm laughing at me, when suddenly, one of Brad's crew guys came from out of nowhere and snatched me up and my other shoe popped out. Well, I was laughing so hard I barely made it through the song. Then the next night when I walked out on stage and got to the place where I had gotten stuck, someone had taped a body outline of me on the stage, and I lost it again,' she laughed. With a break in tour, Kellie has some time to find herself shoes with a wider heel. Tomorrow night, Kellie will sing the National Anthem at the Chicago Cubs game. 'I Wonder,' the touching song she wrote to her mother, continues to climb the charts and the video spends a third week atop GAC's fan-voted Top 20 Country Countdown.
