UNDATED – Folks in Albemarle watching the CMA Awards last night might not have recognized their hometown gal Kellie Pickler. The 'American Idol' alum walked the red carpet as a redhead.
Pickler wore a pewter colored gown as she showed of her new hair color.
"This is my big reveal, I guess," she told Brian Mansfield of USA Today. "Around town, nobody recognizes me. Even my grandpa didn't know who I was the other day. He walked right by me."
