Kellie Pickler Channels Lorrie Morgan With New 'Do

Kellie Pickler Kellie Pickler is channeling one of her musical idols with yet another bold new hairdo. She now has a side-parted short crop that curves sweetly at the jawline, a la Lorrie Morgan.

"I remember being in love with Lorrie Morgan's hairstyles growing up," Kellie tells PEOPLE magazine. "I've always thought she was beautiful and confident. Having short hair makes me feel like I set myself apart (style wise) from the other women in country music."

See a photo of Kellie's new hairstyle here.

Even though she loves her new look, Kellie had to cut her hair out of necessity, after noticing while on her recent USO tour signs of severe hair damage ... the result of dying her platinum hair red back in November, and then back to blonde again just a few weeks later.

"My hair started falling out!" she explains. "It was so damaged, I looked like a scarecrow, so I chopped it off! I had two choices -- look like a scarecrow or cut it."

Kellie made the cut, and feels good about her new look. But how about her boyfriend, songwriter Kyle Jacobs? What does he think about his girlfriend's bold new Lorrie Morgan look?

"Kyle could care less -- he'd love me if I was bald, and vice-versa," Kellie points out with a bright smile. "What he and I have is very special. Unconditional. God blessed me with a good man."

Kellie's third album is being produced by Frank Liddell -- husband to Lee Ann Womack and producer for several of country's biggest names, including Kellie, Miranda Lambert and Jack Ingram. Kellie also will be joining Taylor Swift out on the road again in February for the 2010 leg of Taylor's record-smashing Fearless tour.

She lost all my respect with the boob job. She can't SET Herself APART, she's already a hoe like many. Too bad she isn't classy like Carrie. Carrie is natural beauty. Too bad Kellie's husband didn't like her as she was, and she had to ruin her breasts.

Kellie, I love you just the way you always look. Young and beautiful and full of life. Don't change anything you don't need to try and look like anyone else. Everyone else would die to look like you. You really look like you could be a daughter to Dolly Parton. She is also one of my favorites. Kellie don't let your new found way change you or your personally. Your a beautiful person in and out. I have never met you but I feel you are. Remember to stay true to your roots and your family. May your life always be a smooth ride. You got it girl!!
