Yeah. You gotta to learn your way around a recording studio.
After Dallas, your fans are going to want to buy something.
What's going on?
What are you doing here, Kelly?
That's my song.
I know you liked the song, baby, but Bob sent some other songs over
that were much better, much more appropriate for you. I liked them a lot.
This song, it was too, I don't know what.
- It was just too... - Too what?
Too good? Too young? What?
It wasn't right for you.
I get it.
You can't expect to be the toast of the town after the way you've acted.
Believe me, you've made it perfectly clear that I'm not the toast of anyone's town.
- Kelly, listen. - Get off of me!
Hey.
Leave me alone, James.
Kell, I got somebody out here who wants to see you, okay?
Who?
Look here.
She's been asking for you all day.
Loretta Lynn.
I'm busy, you know, today, and...
I thought you could take her back to the hotel with you, take care of her.
You're just trying to make me feel better.
I got to run over to Stanley's this afternoon and I can't take her with me.
They won't allow it.
You know? So...
It would help.
Oh, my God, James.
- She's so tiny. - Yeah, she is, isn't she?
She gets hungry really fast.
So, you should probably come on out.
Okay.
All right.
You must not think I'm much of a man.
I never said that.
I don't always dance for her, you know?
I know.
She used to be tough as nails.
What happened to her?
I don't know.
She had a fire in her.
The only place she wanted to be was on stage.
That was it.
I don't know when she got so goddamn fragile.
Maybe she's done.
No. No, I can't let her go out like this.
Then, let's just stop her right now.
Before it gets any worse.
- No. No. - Just turn the bus around
and put her back in rehab.
It might get better. She can get stronger.
You and I both know she's not getting any better.
You're just talking like her sponsor.
You and I both know I was never her sponsor.
- Where's Kell? - She told me she was going to pick you up.
Shake it, girl!
Kelly, come on. Come on, time to go.
- Beau! Beau! - Get down.
Hey! Just give her a break, guys.
- We're just having a good time with her. - Stop it!
Just listen to me.
- How dare you do that to me? - I don't give a shit!
Can you get down here now, Chiles? It's Miss Kitty's on 38th 1l2.
How dare you? Those people are my friends!
- Because I need your help. - Come in here
- and pull me out of a bar. - I don't care.
- Just take a cab and pull around back. - Who do you think you are?
You're just somebody's daughter, aren't you?
Yes, I guess I am.
Whose daughter are you?
Her name is Sandy. I'm Sandy's daughter.
She must have done a real number on you.
Yes, ma'am, she did.
Don't call me "ma'am."
Sorry.
I always wanted a daughter.
You did?
I will, one day.
I'm going to have a daughter and treat her just like fine china.
I'll tell her how smart she is.
And I'm going to let her drive whenever she wants.
And I'll let her get her ears pierced.
I will.
I got my ears pierced when I was six.
I had my eye on these beautiful diamond stars.
I told myself they were diamonds, but I'm pretty sure they were just CZs.
My mom said I had to get the starting-out earrings
and those were just boring old gold balls.
You know, just the real plain ones.
She said I could change them out if I was responsible enough to clean them,
but she never let me.
- Well, they sound real pretty. - Yeah, they were real pretty.
I think you can have one hell of a career if you want one.
I want one.
I know you do.
Be nice to Beau, okay?
He thinks he's so tough.
But I ain't ever had a man be so gentle with me.
He's one of the good ones.
He's one of the only good ones.
Does this mean we're friends?
No, sweetheart.
It don't mean a thing.
Kelly! Kelly! Kelly!
Where in the hell have y'all been?
Hey! Hey!
Get a hold of yourself! Come on! Get it together!
Let her alone, James. She's sick.
JJ, she's fine.
- She's a little under the weather. - She's done. We're done.
The sponsor's been pulled. The show is over.
JJ, look. You can fix this.
You know them well. They trust you.
- We go back a long way. - I just lost a quarter of a million
in return tickets. I'm probably not the person you want to ask.
JJ, come on. It's not all about money!
I cannot believe we fell for this shit again.
- We got to have Dallas. - She's done.
How y'all doing tonight?
Thank you very much for waiting.
I have a special surprise for you.
It's a new song,
and I'm going to need my friend, Chiles Stanton,
to come out and sing this with me.
No.
She's a very talented songwriter and this is her song.
Will you please welcome to the stage, Miss Chiles Stanton.
Come on.
What the hell are you doing?
Hi, everybody.
This is our first time singing it, so please be kind to us.
I have sources that say alcohol was involved.
I don't know anything about that.
Thousands of people paid their hard-earned money to see Kelly perform tonight,
and they're walking away disappointed. What do you say to that?
I'd say I expect a little more loyalty.
Kelly?
- Get out of here, Beau. - Get the hell out, kid!
What the hell did you say?
- She's not your wife! - Yeah, she ain't yours, either!
Get the hell out of here, you goddamn asshole!
- Do you feel tough now? - Get dressed, Kelly.
You're the only one that's good enough for me, is that it?
No, but I'm a hell of a lot better than that asshole.
You're no better than him at all.
Do you think he gives a shit about you?
Do you think you give a shit about me?
Knocking on my door every goddamn day!
If you gave a shit about me, you would have left me alone in the first place!
I'm here for you and you're just too dumb to realize it.
- You just want what you can get. - Give me the bottle, Kelly.
- Give it to me! - No more.
- Give it to me! - Give it!
Why did you do that?
I'm tired.
Come on, let's get you to bed.
I'm sorry.
PBR.
Dallas is going to be canceled, isn't it? She's crazy.
She's not crazy. She's the only honest one here.
Why are you here, Chiles?
- I don't know. - I'm tired.
- Wait! - Wait, what?
Do you want to come in?
Stop it.
- Fine. - Wait! Don't...
Don't make me say it.
Say what?
You're being very rude right now.
Tell me what you want.
Nothing.
Where are you going?
They found Loretta Lynn's box at the bar.
They were going to throw her out with the garbage.
I'm going to give her to somebody who can take care of her.
I thought we had that Make A Wish thing today at noon.
It doesn't matter anymore. You don't have to do it.
Hey, I talked to JJ. He's going to let us have Dallas.
I can't imagine why.
What if I told you I was never Miss Dallas?
I'd probably like you even more. Were you?
I almost was.
What happened?
I choked.
Like always.
They asked me what my stance on global warming was,
and all I could think of was a planet in a big, old sweater
my grandma used to make me.
I'm sure that would have kept the whole world nice and warm.
Do you still like me?
I still like you.
- I'm serious, Beau. - I still like you.
But I'm not what I seem.
Well, maybe that's what I like about you.
- Did you ever think of that? - No.
Maybe that's what makes you different from all those other pretty pennies out there.
It's just going to be a few minutes of your time, okay, Mrs. Canter?
Just take a couple of photos with the boy and we'll have you on your way.
- Okay. - It's right down here.
- Do you need a coffee? - No, I'm fine. Thank you.
Hi.
Thank you so much for coming. It just means the world to us.
It's my pleasure. Thank you. Which one is...
- Is that Travis there? - He's right over there.
Okay.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Are you Travis? - Yes.
- Do you mind if I sit down? - No.
Okay.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Is this your class? - Yes.
- Do you have any fun in here? - Yes.
You do?
- That's good. Thanks for inviting me. - You're welcome.
Tell her how much you love her music, Travis.
Are you going to play a song for me?
What? Am I going to play a song for you?
- No, you don't have to. - Yes, I am.
I am. That's why I brought my guys.
Come on in, guys.
There's just one little thing which is, I wrote this new song,
and I'm not sure if it's any good, so I was...
Thanks.
I was hoping that I could play it for you and you tell me what you think, okay?
Okay.
It's called Travis.
And it goes like this.
- What did you think? - Is it over?
Travis. I'm sorry.
Is it... No. No, it's not, is it? No.
We got a whole other part. Don't we, guys?
And it goes like...
What do you say? Would you dance with me for real?
You would? Oh, my gosh.
Come on, boys, bring it home. This is my lucky day.
Oh, my gosh. Okay.
Show me what you got.
Come on, guys! Are you going to dance with us?
Let's see your moves on the floor now.
Oh, yeah. I like those moves.
Okay, bring it home for me.
Yeah.
I'm Nick Beres reporting live outside the downtown arena
where country music superstar Kelly Canter is set to arrive any moment.
Mrs. Canter came down with food poisoning in Houston.
She didn't show up in Austin.
But her fans here have not given up hope.
Almost a year ago today,
Kelly Canter performed at this very same arena
in what became the most talked about performance of the year.
Mrs. Canter, who was five months pregnant, tripped over a microphone cord
and fell 10 feet off the edge of the stage.
She had a blood-alcohol level of .19 at the time.
She's hit rock bottom.
And sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to realize what you had.
And I think she's going to come back. Better than ever.
I was here last year when it all fell apart for Kelly.
I mean, how many chances can someone get?
I don't know. Let's ask the fans out there. What do you think?
Are you ready to hear Kelly's big encore?
- You can't afford these. - Don't worry about that.
- I can't take these. - Put them on.
- No. - Put them on. I want to see them on.
Better than gold balls?
Yeah.
I'm leaving after the show, heading to California.
Why?
There's an opportunity for me out there.
A friend of a friend has got a ranch on the beach
and needs somebody to help him out.
Somebody like you.
And you.
- What about our music? - That's the best part.
There's this bar right in the center of town that just lost its Saturday night lineup,
and I know it's not a 10-city tour or anything,
but it's a bunch of hard-working people that like to listen to good music
while they drink their beer.
I just figured maybe we could write during the day,
see if we come up with anything,
enough to write an album.
I already have enough songs to make an album.
If you want to sing those country pop songs, you go right ahead.
- But you're better than that, Chiles. - No, I'm not.
Yes, you are. I swear it. Just because they might put them on the radio
it doesn't mean they're worth a damn.
I've never seen the beach before.
So come with me.
Okay.
You will?
- We're ready for you, Beau. - All right.
Okay.
Beau.
What if you gave me a little time to think about it?
You take all the time you need.
Good evening, Dallas.
Welcome to the Kelly Canter Encore Tour.
Now, to start things off,
let's hear it for the man you fell in love with back in Nashville,
Beau Hutton!
I love you, Beau!
I'd like to dedicate this first song to Kelly Canter.
She's the reason I'm here. She's a true talent.
This one's not on the set list, but that doesn't mean it isn't pretty.
This one's for you, Kelly.
Pretty.
Thank you.
- You got a pen and paper? - Yeah, sure.
I've been thinking of some things that I want to tell you.
Okay.
Don't ever wear satin on stage 'cause it wrinkles like anything,
and your sweat will show right through it, I don't care how pretty the dress is.
Always travel with your costumes and if anything ever needs mending,
send it to Arturo in Beverly Hills. He's the best.
Don't take laxatives ever
because they never work the way you want them to.
Don't drink anything carbonated on a show day.
Okay? It'll make you bloat.
Wear high heels everywhere you go.
And when it comes to writing your own songs,
don't get too concerned about it, all right?
Your motto should always be, "The best song wins."
And don't be afraid to fall in love.
It's the only thing that matters in life.
The only thing. Do you understand what I'm telling you?
Yeah.
You just fall in love with as many things as possible.
You're going to have to find a way to tell people about your parents
'cause they're not school teachers, are they?
Have either one of them been in prison for anything violent?
Yeah.
Are they out?
My mom is.
Well, you got to work with a publicist
and decide the best way to get it out.
You never want to hide anything from your fans. It's just not worth it.
Okay?
Okay.
How did you know?
I just had a feeling.
Thank you very much.
We got somebody special coming up.
I want you to give a warm welcome to Miss Chiles Stanton.
Wow. That is a welcome dreams are made of. Thank y'all so much.
Mr. Beau Hutton, everyone. Isn't he the best?
Hey. Thanks for the song.
You might have been the only one that liked it.
Come on, now.
- I guess they're not buying the bad shrimp. - Yeah, I guess not.
- Do you think I'm crazy? - No.
I just don't think love and fame can live in the same place.
I loved that baby, too, Beau.
I was sadder than anybody when I lost it.
I can't change my past.
You know? I can't change how much I drank.
I'm stronger than all this. You know that, right?
I know.
I'm going to give them one hell of a show.
I thought you would.
Come here.
You got a full house out there.
I heard.
I've never loved anybody like I loved you.
You know that, right?
Let's just get through tonight, okay?
Hey, Dove.
Give them hell tonight, okay?
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's welcome back to Dallas the lady you've been waiting to see,
the belle of Bristol, six-time Grammy winner,
country superstar Kelly Canter.
Yeah!
That's how it's done, sweetheart.
Okay?
Okay, we got The Chronicle here. They want pictures. Chiles, you, too.
Earlier tonight, this stadium pulsed with excitement
over an incredible performance by country superstar Kelly Canter.
But it still begs the inevitable question, "How long will her sobriety last?"
Fill it up! Let's go!
- James. - Yeah.
Hi. What can we expect next from Kelly?
Well, more songs, more shows,
and a hell of a lot more of what we saw tonight.
- Beau, look this way! - Beau, right here!
Well done, James. It looks like Kelly's going to get her encore after all.
Well, now, we couldn't have done it without you, could we?
Thanks, man. I'll see you in Nashville. We'll talk about some more dates.
Yeah, JJ. All right. Yeah, thanks.
- Who needs a drink? - Right here. One for me, one for you.
Next week, I'm recording my new single,
and hopefully continuing on this amazing tour.
- Hey, Beau. - Where's Kell?
Jesse Clark of Country FM.
She's just cleaning up a bit. She'll be back out.
Great set. How does it feel to have your career change overnight?
Kell? Kell...
Kell? Kell. Kelly!
Kelly. Hey, Kelly.
What did you take? Kelly, how many did you take? Kelly!
Come on, wake up. Wake up. How many did you take, Kelly?
Dear Beau.
You once told me that love and fame can't live in the same place.
If that is true, there's only one choice to make,
especially for someone as gentle and loving as you.
I don't regret a single moment we spent together.
You filled my last days with true happiness.
So choose love.
Take off and don't look back.
Because there is no one more worthy of love than you.
Waylon said it best when he sang to Willie.
"If you see me getting smaller, I'm leaving, don't be grieving.
"I just got to get away from here.
"If you see me getting smaller, don't worry, I'm in no hurry.
"I've got the right to disappear."
Thank you. Thank you all for coming out tonight on a Saturday night.
You've been real kind.
- Play another one, Beau. - All right, then.
This one's called Chances Are.
Well, goddamn.
I'd like to bring a friend on stage,
a wonderful songwriter I met in Nashville.
She just so happens to be here tonight.
Will you welcome to the stage Miss Chiles Stanton.
And this one's called Give In To Me.
