Kenny Chesney Tells Oprah He 'Panicked' After Marrying Renee Zellweger

Kenny was on with Oprah on Friday, and for the first time, he revealed the reason why his marriage to Renee Zellweger only lasted four months. According to Kenny:

“I panicked,” he explained. “I look at my life as a box. … So everything that I put in — learn how to play guitar, put that in the box. The friends I made. I put that in the box, and my career grew. That box built grew into this wonderful house… And you protect everything and all the relationships and all the people that helped you build that house.”

However, the country star said his brief marriage didn’t make its way into the box.

“It was out of the box. Oh my God, but it’s tough. It really is tough,” Chesney said. “And she’s a sweet soul, no doubt about it, but I just wasn’t ready…. This is the first time I’ve actually talked about it, but that’s what happened.”

Inside Scoop On Tomorrow's Oprah Country Music Special

Kristian Bush of Sugarland was on with Cadillac Jack from KICKS 101.5 here in Atlanta on Friday morning. It was an interesting interview. Sugarland kicked off their North American tour Friday night here in Atlanta, and from what I hear, it was a fantastic show.

During the interview, Kristian talked about the upcoming country music special on Oprah set to air tomorrow. Here are a few things I learned about Oprah from the interview:

The Oprah you see on camera is the same Oprah off camera. He said she was as genuine and inviting off camera as she is on.

There is a dress code for the audience. You must dress in pastel colors. No dark or dull colors. He also thought that the audience went through makeup, but he wasn't positive.

Kenny Chesney wasn't allowed to wear his tank top shirt. No sleeveless shirts allowed. Anyhow, it should be a great show. If you didn't already know, it will feature Sugarland, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood and Darius Rucker. That's a pretty good lineup if you ask me...
