Quotes by Kelsea Ballerini

It's been really cool to me to watch someone like Sam Hunt, whose lyrics and roots are in country but you can hear that he listens to Drake and Justin Timberlake - and that's OK. It allows songwriters to be more honest because it's like, 'This is who I'm listening to.'

For a long time, because I'm pretty tall, I was scared to wear heels, but now I wear them all the time. I feel like I'm still discovering my stage style, but I love - well, I'm not a huge color person onstage, but I am in real life. I like short stuff, big heels, fringe, lots of fringe, sometimes sparkle, yeah!

Growing up, I remember thinking country music was all honky-tonks and beer and trucks - Britney Spears was my first concert.
Read quote
I wouldn't be an artist if I didn't have Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift to look up to.
Read quote
Sometimes, if I really just need to unwind and kind of watch something that isn't gonna stress me out or have drama in it, I watch 'Spongebob.'
Read quote
I wanted to be a vet. I really thought that's what I wanted to do.
Read quote
I went to my first CMA Music Fest when I was 14 and waited in line for two hours to meet two people: Taylor Swift and Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum. It's very ironic but not accidental that those two people refer to me as their 'little sister' now.

The whole heartbeat of the first record is young, which I think is what made it relatable to young girls.
