No one actually believes that you can just go into the music industry and make it, just like that — not even Kelsea Ballerini.
In fact, she had another career already planned out before she got her record deal — a veterinarian!
“I was from Knoxville and I always thought I was going to stay there and be a vet,” she told Parade magazine. “I didn’t think that you could just choose to be a singer and go pursue it and be [the next] Carrie Underwood.”
But it all changed when she did just that.
After it all happened, Kelsea had a clear plan for what kind of musician she wanted to be — an honest one.
“I decided that I wanted to be the same person on my albums as I was on social media as I was out to dinner with my mom as I was out having a glass of wine with my friends,” Kelsea says. “I wanted there to be a consistency between artist and person.”
“I think that I tried to write this album that way too, just being very open and honest.”
Kelsea‘s new album, Unapologetically, is out on November 3rd.
FYI: Kelsea is wearing a PrettyLittleThing sweater.
