The fun thing about song writing is that it's just creative. It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, I'm really protective of that. I'm not going to write something because I feel like it fits here or it fits there - I just want to write music that feels good to me, you know? Kelsea Ballerini creativefeelfelt share on social
I was this little blond girl with a guitar case bigger than me - it was pink and sparkly at the time. But I always took myself seriously, and I think that people took that seriously. I would tell them about my goal list, and they listened. I was like, 'I want to be the one that swings the pendulum.' Kelsea Ballerini bigblondcase share on social
I always thought it was a goat that kicked me over the fence. My mama told me the other day it was a cow. Now I'm sort of scared of both. Kelsea Ballerini cowdayfence Change image and share on social

I have a picture of me with Lady Antebellum, when they released their first single and I was at CMA Fest as a fan. I'm in flower-power shorts and a headband - so not cute - and I'm fan-girling next to Hillary. I couldn't believe I was standing next to her. Kelsea Ballerini antebellumcmacute share on social

Blake Lively is my style icon, and she always has rocking clothes and shoes. She keeps it really simple with hair and makeup, and I try to do the same thing. Onstage, I do a little smokier, a little more contouring, but I still always want to be an approachable and real artist, so I never try to go overboard.

As a fan, I connect with realness. Whether it's strong or vulnerable, if it's real, I can connect with it. Kelsea Ballerini connectfanreal Change image and share on social
I grew up loving music, like, loving it. I was involved in church choir, leading worship and all the choirs in my school - even glee club. Kelsea Ballerini choirchurchclub Change image and share on social
I wouldn't be an artist if I didn't have Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift to look up to. Kelsea Ballerini artistfaithhill Change image and share on social
