Kelsea Nicole Ballerini (born September 12, 1993) is an American country pop singer and songwriter. A four-time Grammy Award nominee, she began having success in the 2010s, being honored with the Gene Weed Milestone Award at the Academy of Country Music Awards and the Rising Star Award at the Billboard Women in Music.

She began songwriting as a child and signed a contract with Black River Entertainment in 2014,[4] releasing her debut studio album, The First Time, and her second one Unapologetically, followed in 2017.[5] The two albums account for seven songs on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. She has five No. 1 singles on the latter, starting with her debut single "Love Me Like You Mean It", which made her the first female artist to send a debut single to the top of that chart since Carrie Underwood in 2006. It was followed by "Dibs" and "Peter Pan", whose peaks also made her the first female country artist to send her first three singles to the top of that chart since Wynonna Judd.

Her third studio album, Kelsea, and a counterpart acoustic album, Ballerini, were both released in 2020. The collaboration "Half of My Hometown" with Kenny Chesney garnered two Country Music Association Awards. Her fourth studio album, Subject to Change was released in 2022. She followed that release with her second EP, Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, in 2023. Finally, she released her fifth album, Patterns, in late 2024.

Early life

[edit]

Ballerini, an only child, grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee[2] with her father Ed[6][7] and her mother Carla. She is of German, Scottish descent and is a quarter Italian. Ed was a sales manager at a country radio station. Carla worked in marketing for the Bible publishing division of Thomas Nelson and for a sponsorship company.[7] Kelsea started taking dance lessons at Premiere Dance Studio in Seymour, Tennessee when she was three and quit ten years later.[8] She also sang in a church choir and the school choir.[6] She wrote her first song at 12 for her mother[9] and moved to Nashville three years later.[2] Kelsea attended Central High School in Knoxville, Tennessee; Centennial High School in Franklin, Tennessee; and was at Lipscomb University for two years before pursuing a musical career.[10]

Career

[edit]

2014–2016: Self-titled EP and The First Time

[edit]

At 19, Kelsea Ballerini signed a deal with Black River Entertainment.[2] In late 2014, she released her debut single "Love Me Like You Mean It", which debuted on the Country Airplay chart in October 2014.[11] She released a self-titled extended play for the label in November.[12] She was named one of CMT's Next Women of Country in 2014. She performed for the first time at the Grand Ole Opry on February 14, 2015, and sang "Love Me Like You Mean It."[6] On May 19, 2015, Ballerini's debut album The First Time was released through Black River. For the chart dated July 4, 2015, "Love Me Like You Mean It," the album's first single, reached number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, making Ballerini the first solo female country music artist to score a number one hit with her debut single since Carrie Underwood did so with "Jesus, Take the Wheel" in 2006, and only the eleventh in history to achieve the feat.[13]

Ballerini also became only the fifth solo female country music artist to score back-to-back number one hits with her first two singles when "Dibs" reached the top of the Country Airplay chart and the first to do it since Jamie O'Neal in 2001.[14] The album's third single, "Peter Pan," was released to country radio on March 21, 2016. "Peter Pan" reached number one on both the Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts in September, making Ballerini the first solo female country music artist to top both country music charts simultaneously.[15] The achievement made her the first solo female to send her first three singles to number one since Wynonna Judd accomplished the same feat in 1992.[15] The album's fourth single, "Yeah Boy," was released to country radio on October 10, 2016.

2017–2019: Unapologetically, coaching The Voice, and joining the Grand Ole Opry

On September 2, Ballerini announced she would be releasing a counterpart album to Kelsea, titled Ballerini, featuring stripped-down versions of the songs. It was released on September 11, 2020. The stripped-down version of "Club" was released alongside the album announcement.[40] She described Ballerini as "emotional, vulnerable and soft" while Kelsea showed her "bold and effervescent" side.[41] As of October 16, 2020, Kelsea and Ballerini can be purchased physically as a double album, exclusively from Target.[42]

In 2021, Ballerini temporarily filled in for Kelly Clarkson as a coach during Season 20 of The Voice.[43] She co-hosted the 2021 CMT Music Awards with Kane Brown, where she won the award for CMT Performance of the Year.

[edit]

In March 2022 Ballerini announced that "Heartfirst" would be released April 8, 2022. The song serves as the first single from her fourth studio album, Subject to Change.[46] While co-hosting during the 2022 CMT Music Awards, Ballerini performed the song for the first time.[47] The music video for the song premiered July 7, 2022.[48] On July 15, 2022, a promotional single, "Love is a Cowboy" was released along with the official music video.[48] The album features a collaboration, "You're Drunk, Go Home", with Kelly Clarkson and Carly Pearce.

In September 2024, it was announced that Ballerini will make her acting debut in a guest role on the upcoming ABC series Doctor Odyssey.[57]

Influences

[edit]

Ballerini has been influenced by artists in both the pop music and country. Originally influenced by pop music, she said "I grew up on top 40 pop. I didn't know what country music was, which is so funny because I grew up in East Tennessee."[58] Ballerini lists Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, NSYNC, and Hilary Duff among the early artists who inspired her.[59][60] Ballerini cites Justin Bieber as being an early pop musical inspiration.[61] It was not until Ballerini heard "Stupid Boy" by Keith Urban that she decided to delve deeper into country music by listening to albums by Taylor Swift, Sugarland, and Dixie Chicks. Ballerini credited Swift's self-titled debut studio album for introducing her to country music. Ballerini also cites Shania Twain as her greatest influence.[62] Ballerini has also performed songs originally recorded by Alison Krauss and sang "Ghost in This House" alongside Krauss at the CMT Artists of the Year Awards in 2018.[63][64]
