My only question is.... is it pop-country or country-pop? :D

She did sing several non-country songs during this year's competition but that's part of the American Idol standard. All contestants are challenged/expected to try something different than their typical musical preference. I specifially remember her singing songs by Martina McBride, Rascal Flatts, etc. Neither of them have crossed over to the pop side of music. She does have the technical ability to cross over should she choose but I still stand by what I said before, she actually loves country music and can sing it well.
