Kelsea Ballerini is a rising country music star who has made great strides in a relatively brief career. After signing with Black River Entertainment in 2014, the 25-year-old Tennessean released her debut studio album, The First Time, in 2015 and has since released two additional studio albums, Unapologetically and Kelsea. Her first-ever No.1 single, "Love Me Like You Mean It," was released in 2015 and was followed by multiple other No. 1 singles subsequently added to her repertoire. Ballerini is the youngest female solo artist to ever break through the Top 25 with her first three consecutive singles, a feat for which she earned a 2016 ACM Award for New Female Vocalist of the Year. Ballerini also won a 2018 CMT Music Award for Female Video of the Year.
