She's not going to be the fourth Pistol Annie after all, but there's even better news for RaeLynn. The 18-year-old singer audiences grew to love on Season 2 of "The Voice" has signed a record deal with Republic Nashville.

The blond beauty, who grew up on a farm in Baytown, Texas, was part of Team Blake (Shelton) before being eliminated in the "battle rounds." RaeLynn was the only country singer to make it to the Top 12, securing her spot on the show by putting her own unique spin on songs including Jason Aldean's "She's Country," Pistol Annies' "Hell on Heels" and Maroon 5's "Wake Up Call." She's now busy writing her own songs for her debut album. The teen star has already co-penned two songs with new pal Miranda Lambert, but there's no word yet on whether those tunes will make it on the project.

Republic Nashville is also home to Martina McBride, the Band Perry, Eli Young Band, Sunny Sweeney and Greg Bates. RaeLynn will perform with some of her new labelmates on July 29 at the Crown Royal Presents the "Your Hero's Name Here" 400, at the Brickyard Powered by BigMachineRecords.com.
