Kelsea Ballerini is currently serving as the opening act on Kelly Clarkson's The Meaning of Life Tour, but long before Ballerini was friends with the American Idol alum, she was a big fan. The Tennessee native recently shared her love of Clarkson, and Clarkson's music, in a hilarious post on social media, while Ballerini lip synced to one of Clarkson's biggest hits, while singing into a hair brush for a microphone. "Things that haven’t changed since I was 12: my terrible dancing and my extreme love for Kelly Clarkson. TONIGHT I GET TO START TOUR WITH HER. so here’s a video of me channeling my 12 year old self again because I am just..." Ballerini wrote, along with a series of emojis, including crying hands, raising hands and praying hands.

Blake Shelton has dominated The Voice for most of the show’s run. But Kelly Clarkson won Season 15 with country singer, Chevel Shephard. This season she will try again and she will have Kelsea Ballerini as her team’s battle advisor. But is that an advantage? Here are the reasons why it maybe a big one. The competition tried something different last season by having Kelsea Ballerini be a fifth coach. She didn’t get her own chair, but she was on the series The Comeback Stage on YouTube. There she mentored six of her own singers who auditioned on the show but didn’t make it onto a team. They were then given a chance to get onto a team after competing in battle rounds. Ballerini picked who made it to the final rounds to perform on The Voice live and through Twitter votes someone got to come back and pick their new team leader. Lynnea Moorer was the one who successfully came back and joined Team Kelly, but was later eliminated. This change was pretty controversial. But it looks like Ballerini is the one thing to stick around for another season from it.

Kelsea Ballerini is nominated for two CMT Music Awards, for both Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year, for her physical "Miss Me More" video. The video, which shows Ballerini sparring against herself, was a grueling day of shooting, which the singer now reveals was entirely her idea. "To be nominated twice for this particular video, 'Miss Me More,' it's extra special," Ballerini said backstage at the CMT Music Awards rehearsal. "I wrote this treatment, and I paired up with Shane Drake to make it come to life. It's really just about – for me it gives a different perspective of the lyric. It's really not about fighting against this person. It's really about fighting for yourself. I just think it's a really important message, not just for girls, but for everyone to realize you're worth fighting for. "It sounds really cheesy, but it's really the truth, and I think everybody needs to be reminded of that," she added. "I'm really proud to be nominated, particularly for this video." Ballerini felt a lot of personal satisfaction about the way the "Miss Me More" video turned out, but that doesn't mean she is eager to do something similar anytime soon.

She said it wouldn’t be as low-key as last year’s performance, and for a brief moment, we wondered what Kelsea Ballerini was planning for her highly-anticipated performance of “Miss Me More." But she turned it up to eleven, and there was nothing stripped down about this fiery performance. And of course, her King, hubby Morgan Evans, was in the crowd and on the carpet supporting her all night.

Kelsea Ballerini has plenty of fans line up to meet her each year during CMA Fest. It's an honor for her to connect with every one of them, since she was once also waiting to meet her favorite singers as well. "I've gotten to be a part of it for several years on the artist's side, but I used to be here as a fan," Ballerini told PopCulture.com and other media at CMA Fest. "Me and my mom would drive in from Knoxville, and I have these pictures from the first time I did this at the old Convention Center with these weird flower power shorts waiting in line to meet Taylor [Swift], Lady Antebellum and Justin Moore to get pictures. So to just be able to be on this side of it now, I feel like I really get to appreciate the fans and the lines that they wait in, and saving up to buy these tickets. It's a big deal." All of the artists perform at CMA Fest for free, with a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales going to the CMA Foundation, which helps support music education in schools. Ballerini recently performed at the CMA Foundation Music Teachers of Excellence dinner, honoring music educators. "I got to do the CMA Teachers dinner, where they picked the teachers that are incredible, doing amazing things in their schools from all over the country," Ballerini said. "It was my first time actually seeing kind of what's happening in the classroom that this all goes to. That really inspired me. I had a music teacher, her name is Becky Thomas. She's retired now, but she was the first person that encouraged me to be on stage. I was actually in a musical theater band, the irony, as the ostrich. I'm 98 percent sure she wrote that part in for me 'cause I had no talking lines or singing lines, in fact. I just walked across the stage.
