Kelsea Ballerini has never stopped evolving, even when the world thought she’d already made it. In this episode of “Defining,” the Grammy-nominated artist sits down with ELLE Editor-in-Chief Nina Garcia to revisit the pivotal moments that have shaped her, both on and off the stage. From writing songs in her Knoxville bedroom to navigating fame, heartbreak, and creative independence, Kelsea opens up about the honesty behind her most rewarding musical chapter, what “making it” really means to her, and how she’s learned to live in the moment. Together, she and Nina discuss resilience, reinvention, and the women who continue to inspire her—from her mom and therapist to Sheryl Crow, Wynonna Judd, Taylor Swift, and more.
