About Kelsea Ballerini

Kelsea Ballerini launched to stardom with two consecutive #1 smashes – the GOLD-certified "Love Me Like You Mean It” and infectious, follow-up “Dibs” – from her critically acclaimed debut album THE FIRST TIME. The Black River Entertainment recording artist is the first solo female artist in 15 years to hit #1 with her first two country singles and one of only 11 women to have ever hit the top of the charts with a debut. Abuzz with high-profile media looks, she has been named “The Country Sweetheart” in People Magazine’s elite “Ones to Watch” portfolio, touted by Billboard Magazine as “Country’s Next Queen,” praised by Rolling Stone as the “Nashville It Girl” and selected as one of CMT’s Next Women of Country. The talented singer/songwriter’s credit is featured on all 12 songs on her debut, including her third single “Peter Pan” which is flying up the country radio charts. Racking up her first CMT, CMA, AMA and Radio Disney Music award nominations, she received Billboard’s “Rising Star” award at the prestigious 2015 Women In Music event and just earned her first-ever ACM award win for 2016 New Female Vocalist of the Year. She will vie for the ACM Female Vocalist of the Year nod and perform on the live broadcast, airing on April 3 at 8:00 PM ET/delayed PT on CBS.  Previously sharing the stage with Alan Jackson, Lady Antebellum, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban, she recently returned from her first international trek to Australia to perform at the Country CMC Rocks Festival and will join select dates this spring with Billy Currington and Rascal Flatts.
