Julianne Hough Says Music Is True Passion

Julianne Hough may be best known as a two-time champion on 'Dancing with the Stars,' but she says her true passion is music. Hough will release her self-titled debut country album next month. The ballroom-dancer- turned-country singer is already celebrating chart success with the CD's first single,'That Song in My Head.'

"There's never been a moment in my life that I had to decide that I wanted to do country music," says the 19-year-old beauty. "For me, it was more about just the right opportunity at the right time. I had the opportunity to go on the show and I had already been working on my music."

Hough and her celebrity partner, comedian Adam Carolla, were eliminated from this season of 'Dancing With the Stars' tonight. When the show wraps up, she'll hit the road as an opening act on Brad Paisley's summer tour, set to begin June 11.
