Kelsea Ballerini: What Won’t Be On The Next Record
Kelsea Ballerini has been doing a lot of interviews in the last few weeks, talking about her new song and her new music, which is on the way.
In one of those recent interviews, Kelsea said her next album is completely done, and this one will be a bit different from the rest in one small detail. Kelsea offered, “Every album that I’ve ever done up until this next one, I’ve always done one solo write. And it was my defiant way to be like, ‘No matter how many collaborators I have on this, no matter how many genre pushing songs there are, no matter what I want everyone to know that I wrote one song by myself. I’m a songwriter.'”
She added that this next record is the first one that shd didn’t do that, because she “didn’t feel like she needed it.” Ballerini went on to say she knows her “fingerprints are on this top to bottom,” from lyric to production, concepts, and track list, all of it. She noted she didn’t feel like she needed to “prove that to herself anymore.”
Kelsea concluded that the record can be described as “a record from a 30-year-old woman.”

Ballerini is a natural on TV and a great host. She hosted the CMT Music Awards for several years in a row before saying the 2024 hosting gig was her last for CMT. And, of course, she’ll join The Voice as a coach in 2025.
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 recent 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.”
