Which Former American Idol Inspired Kelsea Ballerini To Get Into Music…
We’ve all been that inquisitive teen, wondering which career path we should explore and what’ll be best for us in the future. For Kelsea Ballerini, it happened while at a concert, an “epiphany” as she stated, that this was what she was meant to do.
Without even knowing, while 14-year old Kelsea Ballerini was in the crowd for Kelly Clarkson’s Behind These Hazel Eyes tour, Clarkson was inspiring a future country star. As Kelsea explains:
“She had these two massive screens of her eyes above the stage, and so depending on the song they would cry or blink or wink. I remember I was watching her sing one of these songs and I was having a moment of, ‘That’s exactly what I’m gonna do with my life, this is it.’ And I looked up and the eyes winked. And I was like, ‘Kelly Clarkson just told me that I have to be an artist.'”
Since this moment, Kelsea has had the opportunity to meet Clarkson, who has given her advice, as well as another idol: Taylor Swift.
