Pickler is known for her ability to flawlessly belt out tunes, but she also made headlines for her tumultuous relationship with her family. The country singer’s mother left her family when she was only 2-years-old. With a father in and out of prison for substance abuse issues, her grandparents mainly raised her. But the American Idol alum set the record straight. “My dad’s always been part of my life. People think he had nothing to do with raising me, and that’s not true. I’ve always been a daddy’s girl. We’re close, and that’s great,” she shared.
