But none of those moments were deemed her most intimidating performanceyet. Kelly admitted to Andy Cohen on Thursday’s Watch What Happens Live thatshe was most nervous to perform in front of now husband Brandon Blackstock.

“It was our first day around eachother flirting. I didn’t want to suck in front of the guy I liked. I wasterrified,” she explained. “I never get nervousbut I was terrified.”

Seems with one note, Brandon washooked. The two married in October 2013 and have an adorable baby girltogether. River Rose, 8 months, joins Brandon’s other two children. And who canforget the in-laws.

For Kelly though, there was nomonster-in-law that she had to deal with. She lucked out with having Brandon’sstepmother Reba McEntire as her in-law “She’s just one of my heroes so that was likethe ultimate fan dream,” she continued. “That was actually helpful. In-laws canbe not so great situations, and I already knew mine.”

Reba had even told Katie Couric in2013 about Kelly joining the family, “Thrilled to death. To have my buddy as mydaughter-in-law, I mean, who could ask for more?”

One guy Kelly also dished on toAndy was former Idol contestant and From Justin to Kelly costar Justin Guarini.“We didn’t date during Idol [though] everyone thought we were dating,” she said.“But we dated during… I feel like we weren’t dating during the movie. We diddate a little bit. I think any two people who are thrown together that muchwould date.”
