Kellie Pickler broke down crying during the CMA Awards on Wednesday night while performing "I Wonder," a song about her estranged mother, who abandoned her when she was 2.
"Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California," the former American Idol finalist sang at the end of the song, as the tears began to fall down her cheeks. "And just in case you're wondering about me/ From now on I won't be in Carolina/ Your little girl is off to Tennessee."

UpdatePosted 11/07/2007 11:45PMBig Night for Carrie Underwood at the CMAs

If 2006 was Carrie Underwood's coming-out party at the CMA Awards, 2007 solidified her place among the current greats of country music.
For the second year in a row, Underwood, 24, won two big awards in Nashville on Wednesday night, repeating as female vocalist of the year and nabbing single of the year for "Before He Cheats." (Last year, she also took the Horizon Award.)
"God had blessed me with so many wonderful things in my life, and I will spend my entire life trying to figure out why," Underwood, 24, said after beating out Reba McEntire and other veterans for the vocalist award. "If you had told me a few years ago I would have been nominated with the people that I have been nominated with, I would have called you absolutely insane."
Kenny Chesney won the top award, entertainer of the year, for the second year in a row and third time overall.
