LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kellie Pickler came into the final “Dancing With the Stars” episode in second place but finished in first.
The 26-year-old country singer won the TV dancing competition show’s mirror ball trophy Tuesday.
“This is amazing!” she beamed to her professional partner, Derek Hough.
The pair earned two sets of perfect scores Monday night and another on Tuesday. Judges’ scores combined with viewer votes determine the winner.
Because there were problems with voting on the ABC website during Monday’s East Coast broadcast, host Tom Bergeron said Tuesday those votes weren’t counted. Only votes cast by phone, text and Facebook factored into the final count.
