Kelsea Ballerini is an American country singer who first made her mark on the music industry in 2014. After releasing her debut single ‘Love Me Like You Mean It’, Kelsea was named one of CMT’s ‘Next Women of Country’.
Since then, Kelsea has definitely lived up to this title. ‘Love Me Like You Mean It’ reached number one on the US Country Airplay chart. She followed this single with hits ‘Dibs’ and ‘Peter Pan’, which also reached the top spot on the same chart. Kelsea was the first solo female to achieve this since Wyona Judd in 1992.
You can watch the music video for ‘Peter Pan’ below:
As well as this, Kelsea received an ACM award for ‘New Female Vocalist of the Year’ in 2015. She is currently on tour supporting Thomas Rhett in America.
Kelsea’s devoted fanbase have helped her achieve her dreams. We caught up with Kayla who runs @KelseaOnTour to find out what it’s like to support her.

11. What is your favourite Kelsea song?
Peter Pan..because how could it not be?!?!

How she’s so funny and down to earth. She’s also a terrific role-model and goes out of her way to make her fans feel like her best friends.
