Kellie Pickler Ties The Knot

The American Idol contestant that went country, Kellie Pickler, has gotten married. Her label, BNA Records, says in a statement that she wed songwriter Kyle Jacobs on New Year’s Day. They held a small ceremony on a private island in the Caribbean.

Pickler finished in the top six on “American Idol” in 2005. Her songs include the top 10 hit she co-wrote with Taylor Swift, “Best Days of Your Life,” as well as “Red High Heels,” “Don’t You Know You’re Beautiful,” and her most recent single, “Makin’ Me Fall in Love Again.”

We wish them well! Hopefully she doesn’t get bigger breast implants.
