Of course, Kellie Pickler's main aim auditioning for "American Idol" was to make it as a country singer. Following hot on the heels of Carrie Underwood who won the season before her, Pickler landed herself a record deal right out of the gate and released her debut album, "Small Town Girl," in 2006. She's had a fair amount of success as a singer, too, dropping "Kellie Pickler" in 2008, "100 Proof" in 2012, and "The Woman I Am" in 2013. But much of Pickler's success since "Idol" has been outside of music.

You may remember the star competed alongside Derek Hough on Season 16 of "Dancing with the Stars" in 2013. The twosome took home the coveted Mirrorball trophy, which put Zendaya in second place — but that's not her only foray into the reality TV world. In 2015, Pickler and her husband, Kyle Jacobs, landed their own reality show, "I Love Kellie Pickler," which ran for three seasons on CMT. 

One of her biggest TV gigs came in 2017 though, when she landed her own talk show alongside Ben Aaron, the Daytime Emmy nominated "Pickler & Ben." The syndicated show saw the two interview plenty of celebrities — including Dolly Parton and "American Idol" judge Luke Bryan – and also saw the two have their fair share of fun, like when Pickler pranked Madame Tussauds guests by posing as her waxwork. But the show came to an end in 2019.
