I finished recording my record yesterday woohoo!!! Canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t wait to get it mixed and mastered and yà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢all to hear it! I LOVE the record! So so happy :) We had a show tonight in North Dakota and it was a great crowd! On our way to Minneapolis for another show and to meet Melissa Petermanà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s family à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.I hope theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re all like her because that means lunch will be awesome and very funny!

No word yet from Kelly on that duet with Chris Daughtry…
