Let's go, girls! Shania Twain joins Kelsea Ballerini on a remixed version of the latter's current single, "Hole in the Bottle."
A dang fine country drinking song, "Hole in the Bottle" comes from Ballerini's newest album, Kelsea. An email to Ballerini from Twain prompted pair's new collaboration on the song, the younger country star tells Kelleigh Bannen on her Apple Music Country radio show.
"I got an email from 'something Twain,' and I’m like, ‘Is this Shania?' And, basically, she had started the conversation of, ‘Let’s do something together,'" Ballerini explains. "And, I was just honored that she even thought of me, you know? And we just kind of went back and forth on a couple other ideas ... And then finally I was like, 'Wait a second, I have this single, and it’s kind of catchy, and she could kill this. And what if she just added to the fire?'"
"She’s very serious about her writing, but she really gets the balance between relatability and not getting all wrapped up in the seriousness," Twain says of Ballerini. "But … she was directing me all the way. It was really, really cute ... She’s actually a really good director, and she knows what she wants, and I really respected that."
Ballerini and Twain first struck up a friendship after Ballerini joined Twain onstage during her headlining set at the Stagecoach country music festival. The two have "had a chance to catch up over a glass of wine a couple times since," Twain says in a press release, adding that "Hole in the Bottle" "really speaks to my own sense of humor."
"They say don’t meet your heroes ... unless your hero is Shania Twain ... then meet her, know her and make music with her," reflects Ballerini. "She's inspired me in every way and has become a mentor and friend and added some major sass and spice to "Hole in the Bottle" the way only Shania could."
"Hole in the Bottle" is currently just outside the Top 10 on the country charts: at No. 15 on Billboard and No. 13 on Mediabase. It follows "Homecoming Queen?" and "The Other Girl," a duet with Halsey, as a single from Kelsea.

 It seems that maybe Kelsea Ballerini is taking her lyrics a little too seriously. Ballerini, who performed her latest single “Hole In The Bottle” at the CMAs last night, almost put a hole in her mouth. Wine Glass Incident While sipping on wine the glass happened to shatter in her mouth. The glass went into her mouth and then cut her lip. The worst part? Country music icon and winner of the Music Video of the Year Award, Miranda Lambert, just happened to catch a glimpse of the unfortunate incident. Earlier on Wednesday morning, Ballerini tweeted that she was only coming to the CMAs for a glass of wine. She just happened to get some of the wine and the glass. |

Shania Twain recently teamed up with Kelsea Ballerini for the ultimate duo by releasing a new version of Ballerini’s song “Hole In The Bottle.”
Twain and Ballerini haven’t been shy about complimenting each other publicly.
“Kelsea is an incredible singer-songwriter, I’m so glad she reached out to me to do Hole In The Bottle,” Twain wrote on Twitter. “Everything about this song is totally my vibe and really speaks to my sense of humor! Loved working on this with you @kelseaballerini.”
Just recently, Ballerini raved about their relationship to Jeremy Parsons on PEOPLE (the TV Show!).
“I’m just beaming. The fact that she even knows who I am still freaks me out,” Ballerini, 27, says of the Twain. “But the fact that someone that genuinely shaped me wanting to be a woman in entertainment, a songwriter, a businesswoman, someone who pushed boundaries, someone who blazed trails.”

 Kelsea Ballerini and Shania Twain are sitting on a beach somewhere, drinking wine and singing. The two are kicking off 2021 in style. Both brought a tropical theme to their duet of “Hole in the Bottle.” It may be winter. But both Ballerini and Twain are enjoying an ocean view. They may not be in the same location, but they certainly seem to be having a good time with this latest TikTok. This wasn’t the first time Ballerini used social media to tease a collaboration with Twain. Kelsea Ballerini and Shania Twain Perform Together After teasing a collaboration, Ballerini and Twain released a remix of Ballerini’s song “Hole in the Bottle” last year. For Ballerini, working with Twain has also been a dream come true. For instance, she’s always considered Twain to be something of a mentor to her. “I’m just beaming. The fact that she even knows who I am still freaks me out,” Ballerini said. “But the fact that someone that genuinely shaped me wanting to be a woman in entertainment, a songwriter, a businesswoman, someone who pushed boundaries, someone who blazed trails.” Growing up, Ballerini used to listen to Twain and her music. In the 1990s, Twain shot to country music super-stardom with a string of highly successful albums. She’s considered one of the top-selling female country artists of all time. “Then recently, I got to collaborate with Shania Twain, who I grew up on, and then she added her superpowers to my song [“Hole in the Bottle” remix],” Ballerini said. “It’s so much stronger and powerful when two females work together. And respect each other and lift each other up and do it through music.” But Ballerini’s love and admiration aren’t one-sided. Twain is also happy to collaborate with the artist and get the chance to sing with her. “Kelsea is an incredible singer-songwriter. I’m so glad she reached out to me to do Hole In The Bottle,” Twain wrote on Twitter. “Everything about this song is totally my vibe and really speaks to my sense of humor! Loved working on this with you @kelseaballerini.” |

While social media is the ultimate tool for artists to promote new music, share music videos, and interact with fans, it’s also a good place to clap back at haters. Kelsea Ballerini responded to a fan that decided to give her some unwelcome criticism on social media. It was regarding her song, “Hole in the Bottle.”
Kelsea Ballerini Versus Haters
The fan wrote, “@kelseaballerini, I really hate your bottle of wine song and I hear it a million times a day.”
To which the country artist replied, “that’s because it’s in the top 5 most played songs in the country this week. Cheers.”
While most of the time the advice is to block out haters and criticism, sometimes they can be the perfect opportunity to show off your success.
Her song peaked at No.8 on the U.S. Country Airplay charts as well.
As for social media and knowing fans, Ballerini considers it a really important part of her role as an entertainer.
“It’s the only way that I can connect with people now, so yeah, it’s really forced me to go there and show what I’m doing … the people that have shown up to shows for six years, I know them by name. To be able to really stick with people like that is nice. I also think that as a fan, I get invested in the artist, and that’s why I love the music. I know that a lot of people that listen to my music are the same way, where like they listen to what I put out because I’m putting it out,” Ballerini said in an interview with Billboard.
Besides getting entertainingly sassy with her fans, Kelsea Ballerini has more plans for her 2021.
For her, it will all be focused on the word “healthy.”
“My word of 2021 is ‘healthy’ … I want to nurture and focus on my physical, mental, and emotional health that all took a bit of a backseat last year (anyone else?),” she wrote on an Instagram post.
She said that having a word to describe her year makes her “stay focused and keeps my intentions set.”
Ballerini has been taking this time away to really settle in. She and her husband, Morgan Evans, moved into the suburbs away from their original downtown Nashville apartment.
“Honestly, [the move] just [is] giving us a little bit of purpose … I’ve obviously not had a lot of things to do this year other than make records, so I have needed to put my time and creativity into something, and getting this house together has definitely been a good outlet for me,” she told PEOPLE.
She released her album “Kelsea” in 2020 as well as its stripped-down version, “Ballerini” in the fall. She performed “Hole in the Bottle” at the CMA Awards. Ballerini has also teamed up with Shania Twain to perform her hit country song.
With its popularity, no wonder that fan keeps hearing it on the radio.
