Kellie Pickler tapped into the painful memory of her grandmother's passing to get the tears necessary for her recent video for "Didn't You Know How Much I Love You."
The song, about a broken relationship, called for some weepy moments in the video, but Pickler didn't use memories of old boyfriends.
"The director, he told me, 'I want to get a shot of you cryin','" she said, according to GAC.
"I'm like, 'Okay, I've never done this before.' He gave me a few minutes to kind of take myself to a place that would make me cry. So I just . . . started thinking about my grandmother. My grandma raised me, and she passed away when I was 15, and so I still have a hard time. I struggle every day with accepting the fact that she's not here anymore. Then I got to thinkin' about how difficult it is for me that she's not here with me at this particular moment, on this video shoot. I just kind of took myself to that place, and it just came pourin' out."
