She finished sixth on the fifth season of the Fox television series American Idol, and in 2006, signed to BNA Records as a recording artist.
Her debut album Small Town Girl was released in late 2006.
The album, which was certified gold by the RIAA, produced three singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts:"Red High Heels" at #15, "I Wonder" at #14, and "Things That Never Cross a Man's Mind" at #16
Pickler was born at Stanly Memorial Hospital in Albemarle, North Carolina, to Cynthia Morton and Clyde "Bo" Pickler, Jr. Her mother was 18 years old when she gave birth to her, and relinquished custodial rights to Pickler when she was two years old.

She was raised in Palestine, a small town near Albemarle.
After her grandmother's death, she continued to reside with her grandfather and her younger sibling Eric until she became a contestant on Idol.
Kellie graduated in 2004 from North Stanly High School in New London, North Carolina.
