NASHVILLE, Tenn. -— Country singer Kellie Pickler is a veteran of reality television after honing her musical and dancing skills on “American Idol” and “Dancing With the Stars,” so she was very careful about agreeing to a new CMT reality show about her marriage to songwriter-producer Kyle Jacobs.
“You definitely have to set boundaries from the start with anything you do,” Pickler said of her new show, “I Love Kellie Pickler.” “And keep things sacred for you and your marriage.”
The 13-episode series, produced by Ryan Seacrest and premiering Thursday at 10 p.m. Eastern, doesn’t have the designer lifestyle and high drama found in the Kardashian household, or the raucous, drunken carousing of CMT’s signature reality show, “Party Down South.”
The sweet Southern singer and her husband wanted to give fans a peek at their home life, but in a wholesome, famil- friendly way.
