Back in 2011, Pickler told Ellen during an interview that she ditched her big wedding plans to elope in Antigua. She said, "We were almost finished with the wedding planning And every time we got to the guest list, it was like, ‘Oh my God, I hate half these people.’ Nothing personal.”
Last year, Pickler spoke out about her time on American Idol. She said, "I was roller-skating burgers out at Sonic and trying to figure out what am I gonna do with my life. I got in line for Idol and it was obviously the rocket that launched my career, but it was God that was the fuel."
"I'm such a simple girl honestly," she said. "I love gardening. My friends call me the fifth unofficial Golden Girl. I'm that 104-year-old trapped in a 35-year-old body. I love puzzles. I love good conversations. I love to sit on the front porch in my rocking chair. I just like to be in good company."
