Kellie Pickler Slips on Sexy Bikini for Maxim Cover [PHOTO]

Country star Kellie Pickler flaunts her sexy body on the special "Salute to the Troops" issue of Maxim magazine. The blonde hair blue eyed singer talked about her life as a country girl and USO supporter in the magazine.

Pickler grew up in a military family and saw firsthand the courage and sacrifice of those who served the country. The patriotic songstress has toured on five USO tours, supporting the US troops and performing for them overseas.

When asked about singing the national anthem, Pickler surpassingly responded, "I hate doing the anthem!" She quickly explained, "I love the anthem if someone else is singing it, but doing it myself gives me anxiety! I feel like people are waiting for you to mess up! I've done it before and I'll do it again, I'm sure, but I'd rather show my patriotism by going to Afghanistan."

The small town country gal also confessed her love for Marilyn Manson. Country is not the only music that she listens to.
