Kelsea Ballerini: Here’s What She Has Learned
Kelsea Ballerini is always looking to live her best life and share her story. This week, she posted lessons she’s learned in the last year. In an Insta slide where a fan asked what she learned this year, Kelsea wrote a short list of what has learned:
“It’s okay to have a day off. “
“To actually take my vitamins.”
“Say yes to the things that scare you.”
“How to cook a great steak.”
“How to seek the truth within yourself and the world around you.”
“Nothing is really that deep.”
In another slide, a fan asked how she stays happy, and Ballerini replied with a photo of her and her dog Dibbs and wrote, “House and home are beyond full with this fur baby.”
Kelsea has been working to complete her next album and has released a song from it. She plans to release the full album in the coming months. Her last album, Rolling Up The Welcome Mat, which she released within weeks of letting her record label know it was done, was nominated for Album of the Year at the CMAs and the ACMs as well as for Best Country Album at the GRAMMYS.

Ballerini is a natural on TV and a great host. She hosted the CMT Music Awards for several years in a row before bowing out, saying the 2024 hosting gig was her last for CMT. And, of course, she's joining The Voice as a judge next year.
While she shines in front of the camera, Kelsea has always stayed away from and not accepted offers to go into acting, the profession of her boyfriend, Chase Stokes.
In a new interview, Ballerini said when asked about going Hollywood, “I always said a hard ‘no’ to acting. Like, hard ‘no.’ I said ‘no’ because I’m so scared of failing. It’s just the perfectionist in me,”
Reese Witherspoon, who is a good friend of Kelsea, has even tried to push her friend into acting, but the movie’s star encouragement fell flat. Until now.
The country singer says that in the last few years, she has “started running towards things that really terrify me,” so she noted that she’ll “probably try it.”
Kelsea did not say in the interview what TV role or movie she would consider, and when asked who she would most like to play, she replied, “I would like to play me. That’d be fun.”
