Fresh from her Academy of Country Music Awards' win for Top New Artist, Dancing With the Stars' Julianne Hough tells E! News that it's been hard juggling her two careers.

We caught up with her backstage at Dancing's elimination show tonight (bye-bye, David Alan Grier) and this is what she spilled about her career plans…

"I wasn't supposed to come back this season, but then [boyfriend Chuck Wicks] got on the show," she explains. "I'm going to take the next one off. It's hard for us to keep going and going and going and then of course with two different things you're trying to do, you get exhausted and overworked."

The hyphenated talent continues, "I had such a great weekend at the ACMs and taking home those awards was all because of the fans and I want to prove to them that I deserve those. So I want to make the best record I can possible and show everyone I'm committed and that's where my heart is. It's hard to do both and there's a step you have to take."

But don't worry, fans. Julianne says it's only a "break" she needs and that "I'm sure next season I'll come do guest things on the show."

Will you miss Julianne on the show? Do you think she's making the right career choice? Sound off in the comments below.
