On May 21, 2013, Kellie Pickler and dancing partner Derek Hough won Season 16 of
Dancing With the Stars. The pair won the season thanks to perfect 30-point scores on all three of their final dances: a quickstep set to Ludovic Bource s Peppy and George; a freestyle dance soundtracked by Labrinth feat. Emeli Sandé s Beneath Your Beautiful; and an instant jive to Little Richard s Keep-a-Knockin . I m overwhelmed with joy, Pickler told
Us Weekly after her win. I m kind of speechless for the first time! Usually I can t be quiet! Usually I m just spitting out words left and right, and now I don t know what to say.
