KELSEA BALLERINI

Coach Bio

Kelsea Ballerini serves as a coach on NBC’s four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series “The Voice.” Ballerini claimed her red chair for the first time this season.

With the release of Ballerini’s debut album, “The First Time,” she became the only female country artist to hit No. 1 with the first three consecutive singles from a debut album. This history-making feat earned her a Best New Artist Grammy Award nomination. She has logged five back-to-back Top 10 entries on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, including the platinum-selling “The First Time” (2015), gold-selling “Unapologetically” (2017), gold-selling “kelsea” (2020), “ballerini” (2020) and “SUBJECT TO CHANGE” (2022). With seven No. 1 singles and 33 certifications from the RIAA to date, her catalog boasts a string of essential smashes.

Ballerini has garnered five Grammy nominations, won two ACM Awards, picked up two CMA Awards, took home the iHeartRadio Music Awards honor for Best New Artist and received multiple career nominations from the ACM Awards, American Music Awards, CMA Awards, CMT Awards and People’s Choice Awards. Ballerini was also inducted as a member of the famed The Grand Ole Opry House in 2019. At the time, she notably became the Opry’s youngest member in its nearly 100-year history since being founded in 1925.

Expanding her sphere of influence, Ballerini authored her first original book of poetry, “Feel Your Way Through” (2021), and Dolly Parton tapped her to voice the audiobook of “Run, Rose, Run” (2022). That same year, the multi-platinum country superstar was named the newest face of CoverGirl. She entered into a multi-year partnership and launched a cosmetic collaboration with the brand in 2023.

Ballerini’s fourth album, “SUBJECT TO CHANGE,” arrived in 2022. The gold-certified first single, “HEARTFIRST,” earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Country Solo Performance. She went on to surprise fans five months later with the release of the intimate six-song “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good),” which earned her a nomination for Best Country Album as well as her “Saturday Night Live” debut, acclaim from The New York Times, Variety and Rolling Stone, as well as the cover of Time magazine.

Ballerini’s critically acclaimed studio album “PATTERNS” (Black River) debuted in October and earned her the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Country Albums Chart and No. 4 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums. On the album, she enlisted Grammy nominee Noah Kahan to appear on the single “Cowboys Cry Too,” which was nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance following the pair’s incandescent performance at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards. Most recently, she announced a 36-date tour that will take her to arenas across the country, kicking off in January.
