Kellie Pickler has been the talk of the week with her Dancing With The Stars win, but she also has recently released her new single, “Someone Somewhere Tonight” with her new label home, Black River Entertainment!

The track was written by Walt Wilkins and Davis Raines, and is Kellie’s favorite song she has released thus far:

“‘Somewhere Someone Tonight’ is such a special song. Honestly, it is my favorite song I’ve ever cut and released to country radio. It’s so real, and it’s so true, and it means something! I think people need to hear it.”

Find out the story behind the song in this exclusive Behind The Scenes Interview with Kellie:

Kellie Pickler Wins “Dancing With The Stars”

Jeanna D. — Wed, 22 May 2013 05:41:01 +0000

Kellie Pickler is the new Dancing With The Stars champion!

Country’s sweetheart and her partner, Derek Hough, took home the Mirror Ball Trophy last night. The pair wowed us all season, and their performances were near perfection on Monday. Their freestyle dance was absolutely stunning and had the ballroom in tears. If you missed it, check out the video below. It’s probably the best dance ever on Dancing With The Stars.

We know Kellie is amazingly talented when it comes to music, but she also has the talent when it comes to dancing. The judges even compared her to Derek’s sister and superstar dancer/country singer, Julianne Hough, during the finale. She truly looked like a professional out on the floor.

On top of her top-notch dancing skills, the genuine personality and classiness that Kellie brings to everything she does was clearly evident every week. People fell in love with her on American Idol years ago, and they got to fall in love with her all over again on Dancing With The Stars.

Congratulations to Kellie and Derek! We’ve always been Team Pickler. The win was very well deserved and we are so happy for you.

While we are at it, let’s take a look at some of our other favorite Pickler dances this season.

Dancing With The Stars: Good Luck, Kellie Pickler!

Kellie Pickler competes for the Mirror Ball Trophy tonight on Dancing With The Stars!

Pickler has been impressing us all season with her dance skills and continues to win everyone over with her adorable and genuine personality. The country sweetheart has really perfected her technique over the course of the show, and there are truly times where she seems like a professional dancer. While the competition is tough, she and partner Derek Hough consistently standout to me. Even though the judges generally score the contestants pretty evenly, Kellie seems to be on another level and she is sometimes maybe scrutinized harder than the rest because of her ability.

Pickler will be facing Aly Raisman, Zendaya Coleman, and Jacoby Jones, and the contestants will all perform three dances tonight in hopes of being crowned the winner tomorrow.

Part one of the two-night finale begins tonight at 8/7c on ABC. Tune in and make sure to vote for Kellie!

Good luck, Kellie & Derek… Team Pickler!

Kellie Pickler’s Paso Divides Dancing With The Stars Panel

Jeanna D. — Tue, 07 May 2013 23:26:57 +0000

Kellie Pickler has been impressing us every week this season on Dancing With The Stars.

Last night, Pickler again wowed us with a Paso Doble she performed with partner (and one of the best choreographers around), Derek Hough, and special guest, Tristan MacManus. Carrie Ann and Bruno raved about the performance and gave the dance 10′s. Len, however, was on a completely different page finding the routine more focused on showmanship than technique. The vast difference in scoring sparked quite the debate among the judges.

We are of course Team Pickler, but loyalty aside, the trio dance was fantastic and deserved a perfect score. We are with Carrie Ann and Bruno on this one.

Great job, Kellie & Derek! Good luck tonight!

Check out video of the performance below:
