Oct. 31, 2008 — Kellie Pickler has a place among the most attractive people in contemporary country music, and when you throw her musical successes into the mix, it’s difficult to picture her having issues with self-esteem.
Nevertheless, she has indeed had times when she struggled to appreciate her own worth, which provides a sincere depth to her current single.
"The first time people hear 'Don’t You Know You’re Beautiful,' they always think I’m singing about outer beauty," Kellie told Fox News. "But its so much more deep than that."
She’s particularly fond of the second verse, which references a back-seat romantic temptation, encouraging young girls to be patient in giving away their affections.
"Hold onto that innocence," Kellie said. "It is so beautiful. Cherish it because it’s priceless, and once it's gone, you can’t get it back. I think it's important for all women — young girls as well as adults — to love what you see when you look in the mirror, to love your heart."
Kellie is GAC’s Fan Focus Artist for the month of October, and the "Don’t You Know You're Beautiful" video ranks No. 1 on the Top 20 Country Countdown. She’s set to perform on "The 42nd Annual CMA Awards," hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood Nov. 12 from the Sommet Center in Nashville.
