Kelsea Ballerini has made her Sesame Street debut.

The 27-year-old country star joined Elmo and his friends in a family-friendly singalong during a recent episde. "I wanna sing a song all about families," Ballerini tells Elmo in a clip posted to Sesame Street's YouTube page. Together, they're celebrating Family Day.

"Elmo loves his family," Elmo says in the clip, to which Ballerini responds: "I love my family too. Actually, I love all families ... because every family's different."

Ballerini's inclusive outlook is reflected in the song's lyrics. "Family might be your uncle / Or your aunt and you / Some families have one mother / Some families have two," Ballerini and the Sesame Street gang sing. "But the one thing every family has, whatever they may be / Is the thing that we call love / That's what makes a family."

You can check out the full Sesame Street episode with Ballerini on HBO Max.
