Kellie Pickler Tops Holiday-Weekend "Top 20"

Taylor Swift (r) hosts GAC's Top 50 Videos of 2008 and welcomes special guest, Kellie Pickler.

July 2, 2009 — Nan Kelley hosts a red, white and blue-themed edition of GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown this weekend, with Kellie Pickler remaining at No. 1 for the fifth straight week.

Kellie’s "Best Days Of Your Life" video features her friend, Taylor Swift, who co-wrote the song. They’re also on the road together with Kellie opening Taylor’s Fearless Tour, which is ideal for the two of them.

"I officially adopted her as my little sister," Kellie told AOL’s The Boot. "She's so smart. She's very talented. It was really cool to be able to write together, record together and shoot a video together."

So just how close is their friendship?

Kellie is "the one person on the planet," Taylor told The Boot, "who has the nerve to delete a guy's number out of my phone if she doesn't think he's right for me."

Taylor apparently does not complain. Kellie won’t be able to watch out for Ms. Swift on July Fourth. Kellie will be in Round Rock, Texas, opening for Jerry Jeff Walker at Dell Diamond, home of the Pacific Coast League’s Red Rock Express baseball team.
