Years after the North Carolina-native auditioned for Idol back in 2005, Pickler competed on Dancing With the Stars alongside Derek Hough.
While the singer admits she had some dancing experience from when she was a cheerleader in high school, Pickler quickly became the season favorite with what can only be described as God-given talent.

Hough and Pickler danced an instant jive to the beat of Little Richard’s “Keep a Knockin’.” The dance kicked off with a bang, Hough running over to his Dancing partner with a series of gymnastics tricks. They executed their dance perfectly, Pickler displaying moves even seasoned professionals don’t bother aspiring to.
