Julianne Hough Will Tour With Toby Keith

The Dancing With the Stars pro -- and aspiring country singer -- will open for Toby Keith for a few tour dates, USA Today reports.

Hough will perform on Feb. 6 in Louisville, Kentucky, and Feb. 22 in Des Moines, Iowa. She'll also join George Strait for a few concert dates.

Hough told Usmagazine.com in November that she wouldn't be returning to DWTS. "I won't be on Dancing this spring season [premiering March 9]. I don't know about the fall. Maybe, maybe not. We'll see," she blogged. "I'm definitely going to focus on the music. My first album was a learning experience, and I can't wait for the next one. I feel like the writing and producing will be even better, really awesome."
