KELSEA BALLERINI MAKES ELLEN DEBUT UNAPOLOGETICALLY IN LOVE
Following a whirlwind weekend at iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, NV, Black River Entertainment recording artist KELSEA BALLERINI traveled to Los Angeles, CA, to make her lovestruck debut of “Unapologetically” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today (9/27).
Dressed in a bubblegum pink Son Jung Wan romper and Stuart Weitzman heels, Ballerini introduced the anthemic title track from her much-anticipated sophomore album – available November 3 – among a heart-shaped balloon-filled backdrop. The unabashed starry-eyed tune celebrating a head-over-heels kind of love was penned by Ballerini, Forest Glen Whitehead and Hillary Lindsey.

The CMA Female Vocalist of the Year nominee will next journey to Amsterdam, Netherlands, to jumpstart the electrified last leg of Lady Antebellum’s YOU LOOK GOOD WORLD TOUR on Monday (10/1).

About Kelsea Ballerini:
Named among the "30 Biggest Albums of Fall” by Entertainment Weekly, GRAMMY nominee Kelsea Ballerini has released her first heart-melting anthemic single “Legends” off her highly anticipated sophomore album, UNAPOLOGETICALLY, slated to drop November 3. The Black River Entertainment artist skyrocketed to stardom after releasing three consecutive PLATINUM-certified, #1 smashes from her critically acclaimed, GOLD debut album THE FIRST TIME – “Love Me Like You Mean It," “Peter Pan,” and “Dibs” – making her the only female artist in Country music history, including female duos and groups, to achieve this accolade. The talented singer-songwriter also reached GOLD with Top 5 hit “Yeah Boy,” after having written or co-written all 12 songs on her debut. Ballerini has appeared on the cover of Billboard Magazine’s GRAMMY preview issue, was included in Forbes’ “30 Under 30” class of 2017, and featured in People Magazine’s “Beauty at Every Age” list in their iconic World’s Most Beautiful issue for 2017. She's been named “The Country Sweetheart” in People’s elite “Ones to Watch” portfolio, praised by Rolling Stone as the “Nashville It Girl,” touted by Billboard as “Country’s Next Queen,” and selected as one of CMT’s Next Women of Country. After her 2016 headline THE FIRST TIME TOUR – which visited dozens of cities across the U.S. and included sold-out shows in her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee; Minneapolis, Minnesota; New York City; Los Angeles; and more – Ballerini joined Thomas Rhett for his HOME TEAM TOUR and is heading to the UK for the last leg of Lady Antebellum’s YOU LOOK GOOD WORLD TOUR. Awarded Billboard’s “Rising Star” honor at the prestigious 2015 Women in Music event, she has continued to gain recognition by scoring ACM’s for New Female Vocalist of the Year and the prestigious Gene Weed Milestone Award, iHeartRadio Music Award for Best New Country Artist, multiple Radio Disney Music Awards, and the American Country Countdown Award (ACCA) for Breakthrough Female of the Year. Ballerini is vying for Female Vocalist of the Year at the 51st Annual CMA Awards airing live from Nashville on November 8 on ABC.
