Julianne Hough Leaving Dancing with the Stars to Pursue Music Career

I think we all saw this one coming… Dancing With The Stars pro Julianne Hough will be leaving the show after this season to pursue her music career.
Julianne Hough’s country singing career has really taken off – she just won Top New Artist at the Academy of Country Music awards – so the decision to leave isn’t a surprise.
Julianne Hough says of the decision to leave Dancing with the Stars; “I wasn’t planning to come back this season because I wanted to focus on my music. But I went back and it’s been so much fun to dance with my good friend who happens to be my boyfriend.”

I won’t hold my breath since Julianne has said this before and then changed her mind when she needs the publicity and attention. I don’t believe anything that comes out of this girls mouth since it is usually never true or she says that her words got twisted when she is caught in a lie.
