Kellie Pickler and her professional dance partner Derek Hough were crowned the new champions of the reality competition "Dancing With the Stars" Tuesday. The two hoisted the mirrorball trophy over their heads, which will makes its way back to Nashville with Pickler. The country music singer never thought she would make it to the end of the competition. To complete her judges points, Pickler and Hough danced an instant jive, where they received their song less than an hour before they had to perform their dance. The judges praised her and said the jive was a perfect way to end her journey on the reality competition.
Pickler's performances were consistent each week of the competition. She found a dancer inside herself, and her dance partner made those dreams come true with difficult choreography for her to conquer each week. The freestyle dance is usually what decides the winner of "Dancing With the Stars", and this year that was no exception. While the freestyle was changed to a super-sized freestyle this season, Pickler and Hough decided to do a stripped down performance of pure dancing, which received a perfect score and standing ovation from the judges. The two received the most Twitter responses and performed the encore dance during the finale.
Disney star Zendaya placed second, while Baltimore Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones took third place. Alexandra Raisman, the olympic gold medalist, ended up with fourth. The popular reality show will return in September for season 17.
