Kelli Crossley Interview
Miss Nevada Teen USA 2005
Why did you decide to compete in the Miss Nevada Teen USA pageant?
I competed in many pageants as a child, and watching the Miss USA pageant one year I was determined to take the title for my state. So I found the 411 on how to enter, invited everyone I knew, found the perfect attire for every section of the competition and BAM there I was crowned Miss Nevada Teen USA!
What was going on in your head when you were announced as the new Miss Nevada Teen USA?
As I was standing there side by side with that other girl, I was thinking the whole time about what my parents were doing in the audience. Kinda silly, I know, but I was determined to win it so there was no other way for me. Either way I was a winner.
What would be your most memorable moment at Miss Teen USA?
Most memorable moment at Miss Teen USA was meeting Aaron Carter. When I was about 10 I had tons of pictures of him in a binder, so meeting him and hanging out with him after also was a good time.
Tell us about your EP, “Hostage”.
Hostage is my first single! The moment I saw it for sale on iTunes I died. Then driving down the freeway in my car I heard it on the radio, I almost crashed!
What emotions were you going through when you gave away your title as Miss Nevada Teen USA?
Giving up my title for me wasn’t a bad thing. I still had so many things lined up for me to attend as Miss Nevada Teen USA 05 with the D.A.R.E. program and many charity events. Although I couldn’t hold back my tears one bit.
Lastly, what have you been up to since your reign as Miss Nevada Teen USA ended?
Since I ended my year, I have been busy working on getting my songs out there and being a performer. Moved to LA, then back to Vegas. I am full of even more energy and can’t wait to see what my future holds!
