Kellie Pickler plays free LI concert for fundraising – Did Taylor Swift give you any advice while you toured together? Not really. We both started out at the same time, our first albums came out a week apart. We have different audiences for sure. I couldn’t get out there and do what she does because that’s not me.

I love everything!'” Pathak’s also a songwriter, and hopes to form an original band with her friends in the months to come.
