Who is Kelsea Ballerini? Know about the country singer
Kelsea Ballerini was born in Mascot, Tennessee, and spent her childhood in Knoxville in a small house with a large piece of land rooted in Southern traditions, as she explained in a video on her YouTube channel. However, she moved to Nashville three years after winning her first song at the age of 12.
Kelsea went to Central High School in Knoxville and, in October 2017, came back to perform at her old school. She thought it was really neat to return to Knoxville and share a big moment in her life with her hometown.
Central High School was special for her. She was part of the glee club and even got to perform in musicals on the same stage where she sang the very first song that she had written.
After high school, Kelsea went to Lipscomb University for two years before deciding to leave college and chase her musical career.
Some fans mistakenly believe that Kelsea began her career on a TV competition show, but that is not true. She actually achieved fame through the traditional route of writing great music, connecting with people through Facebook, and eventually securing her own recording contract.
