“I was proud of myself for making it as far as I did. My husband knows me well,” Kelly said. “I came off stage and he was like don’t ruin it. Don’t ruin the moment. Because I was like it was so embarrassing. I cried the whole time. I didn’t realize it was gonna be that bad. And we were rehearsing that day and I just couldn’t get through it. My one year old is running around the same hallway as I was 19.”
