Kelsea Ballerini shared her gorgeous transformation as she got ready to attend the premiere of the new Broadway musical, Shucked, in New York City. The “HEARTFIRST” powerhouse started with eyeshadow and a fresh face as she and her team completed her flawless makeup and hair. She was red-carpet ready with a stunning pair of earrings and a glamorous golden gown with a bold cutout to perfect the red carpet look. Ballerini posted her transformation on TikTok, set to “Doin’ My Best,” one of 15 tracks on Subject To Change.

“I'm doin' my best/ I’m lettin' the rest roll off my shoulders, baby/ Don't always get it right/ Hey, and that's alright/ That's what I'm learnin' lately, I keep/ Growin' up, I keep/ Rollin' up my sleeves and I think/ That showin' up is good enough for me”

Ballerini attended the Broadway premiere with boyfriend Chase Stokes, starring in the Netflix drama Outer Banks. Other celebs, including country stars, also attended the event on Tuesday (April 4). The list includes Kacey Musgraves, Little Big Town, Carly Pearce, Walker Hayes, Jennifer Nettles, Susan Sarandon, Kristin Chenoweth and other stars. Songwriters Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark’s music and lyrics are featured in the Broadway musical.

Ballerini’s latest red carpet appearance with Stokes comes shortly after she co-hosted the 2023 CMT Music Awards with Kane Brown in Austin, Texas. The pair walked the red carpet together and, as Ballerini performed “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too),” was seen dancing and singing along to every word. Relive that moment here.
