Small Talk: Reba McEntire, Kenny Chesney + More
The Boot rounds up this week's most memorable quotes from country stars.
"The silliest thing I've ever done -- I once poured salt into my friend Vanessa Foster's hair. We were in a bathroom ... She was in one stall and I was in the other. I stood up on my toilet seat and poured salt over into her stall and into her hair. That's real hard to get out!" --Reba McEntire (Source: Post-Gazette)
"I think we actually have 152 costume changes scheduled, so hopefully you will not see any wardrobe malfunctions!" --Carrie Underwood, on hosing the CMA Awards (Source: ET.com)
"The thing about high school -- you don't know anything, but you think you know everything." --Taylor Swift (Source: CMT)
"If Sarah Palin becomes Vice President of the United States, he (my husband) says we have to personally secede from the whole country. So please, people, write me in on the ballot in November, or write me in New Zealand, where I'll be making my new home. --Rosanne Cash (Source: The Nation)
"The whole concept is an embarrassment to me as an artist. In the spirit of an election year, I would simply say to my fans, 'I'm Tim McGraw, and I don't approve their message.'" --Tim McGraw, on his frustration with his record label for releasing his latest greatest hits package before he wanted them to
"It is tough to lose somebody you love ... and when it's a spectator sport on top of that?" --Kenny Chesney, on the pain of his media-scrutinized split with Renee Zellweger (Source: The Tennessean)
"If your dream crashed in L.A. and sent you to Nashville, welcome aboard! Come on down here and let's put a band together. If fans love it, they'll let you know. If they don't love it, they'll let you know that, too!" --Jamey Johnson, talking to The Boot about pop acts crossing to country
