Being a songwriter is really the base of being an artist, for me. Kelsea Ballerini artistbasesongwriter Change image and share on social
We had three cows and a goat. People from New York and L.A. are like, 'Oh my gosh, that's a farm!' But people in Tennessee are like, 'That's not a farm.' I've never milked a cow or anything like that. Kelsea Ballerini cowfarmgoat Change image and share on social
I also grew up on a farm in east Tennessee, so my roots are just naturally super southern, so I've always had that southern country lifestyle. Kelsea Ballerini countryeastfarm Change image and share on social
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
My theory is the root of a country artist is truth and honesty. For me, I look at Sam Hunt. The truth and the honest thing is we have southern roots, we were raised in a southern way, but we listen to Drake and other stuff, too. Kelsea Ballerini artistcountrydrake 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 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
When I was 13, I started writing songs, and it fell into my lap all of a sudden. I wrote poems and journals, but that's when it switched for me to songwriting. That's when I wanted to do everything. It was like a fire all of a sudden. I started coming to Nashville and moved here when I was 15. Kelsea Ballerini comefallfire 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
