Kellie Pickler’s Decision to Stop Singing and Current Residence Explored

Kellie Pickler is a renowned country singer and songwriter who rose to fame after participating in the fifth season of American Idol. There, she managed to win the hearts of many, including the judges but was unfortunately eliminated in the Top 6.

Since then, she has released multiple songs and albums, gone on tours, performed live, and even ventured into the acting business. She has 12 credits as an actress on her IMDb profile, with her last acting gig being the 2019 TV movie The Mistletoe Secret.

Returning to her singing career, she released her first album, Small Town Girl, in 2006. Two years later, she released a self-titled album. Her next album came after four years when she released 100 Proof. One year later, she released The Woman I Am.

Why did Kellie Pickler stop singing?

In 2013, Pickler released her fourth album, The Woman I Am, which also happened to be her last album. Since then, she hasn’t released a new album, let alone a single. However, she occasionally performed her music live.

That said, the American singer not releasing a new song or working on a new music project left all of her fans with no choice but to think she had stopped singing. So, is that the case? And if so, why did Kellie Pickler stop singing?

The answer to why Kellie Pickler stopped singing currently remains unknown as she hasn’t addressed this topic. She might have gotten busy with other professional works, such as her film and television career.

But, as mentioned earlier, Pickler’s last acting project was released in 2019, so what has kept her from continuing her singing career? The answer remains undisclosed, and this stance will remain the same until Pickler addresses it herself.

That said, the North Carolina native songwriter told Sounds Like Nashville that she had been writing alongside her husband, Kyle Jacobs. She stated, “My husband Kyle [Jacobs] and I have been writing. He’s been working so hard producing [music for other artists] and whatnot.”

“We’re ready to get back in the studio and put new music out that will heal and help people,” she added to her statement during her interview that took place in 2020. But again, three years have passed, and there is still no new song or album from her side.

And this might continue to be so, and the project she was working on with her husband might be derailed for good. It’s because Pickler’s husband is no more. Kyle Jacobs, unfortunately, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on February 17, 2023.

Has Kellie Pickler ever been in an accident?

With Pickler not working on a single singing project in a decade, some people have wondered if she has been in some accident that has prevented her from continuing her singing career, which was very successful at the time.

The answer to this question is no, as Pickler hasn’t been in any accident that has kept her away from singing. As of this writing, there are no reports regarding any accident, and if an accident did occur, it hasn’t seen the light of the day.

On a different note, Pickler’s drummer, Gregg Lohman, once had a serious car accident. He suffered from severe injuries and was hospitalized at the University of Louisville Hospital. After Lohman’s accident, Pickler wrote a heartfelt post via Facebook.

In her Facebook post, she mentioned Lohman’s car accident and his condition. She then stated that he wasn’t just her drummer, as she regarded him as a family member. Ultimately, she asked her followers to keep Lohman in their prayers.

Where does Kellie Pickler live now?

Pickler lives a healthy life, all thanks to the success that she has achieved, either through her singing career or her acting career. Speaking of her net worth, Celebrity Net Worth reports that she has an estimated net worth of $4 million.

Her earnings have helped her buy a decent house in Nashville, where she lived with her now-late husband. However, fans now wonder if Pickler still lives in the same Nashville house. If not, where does Kellie Pickler live now?

As for why fans are asking if Pickler still lives in the same Nashville house, it’s because her late husband shot himself in the guest room of the same house. And it might not help the singer move on if she still resides in the same place where the love of her life took his own life.

So, has she put the house on the market? Or is she still residing there? As of May 2023, it has been reported that Pickler wasn’t living in her Nashville house, where she spent 12 years with her now-deceased husband.

Similarly, she has considered moving away from the house. A source close to the singer told OK! Magazine in May 2023 that she couldn’t bear to stay in the house and had been living with her close friends.

The source also mentioned that she had stopped by her Nashville house to oversee the fixatation. “She will probably put it on the market. It doesn’t feel like home anymore,” the insider further added.

Since then, there haven’t been further updates on Pickler’s living arrangements and if she has put her house on sale. To conclude, there are two possibilities: she has moved back to her Nashville home or found another place to reside.
