Kelsea Ballerini’s PATTERNS Arrives TODAY

(Nashville)-- Kelsea Ballerini has always had a musical relationship with her fans that’s as much one-on-one conversation as grandiose musical statement. Intimate, but pop-inflected, personal, but somehow universal, PATTERNS shows the young woman emerging from divorce and its aftershocks to assess her life with clear-eyed grace and a future that seems clearly pointed to a well-earned happily ever after.

With her Noah Kahan lead-off duet “Cowboys Cry Too,” designed to level up the emotional playing field for men coming into their own, landing a Country Music Association "Musical Event" nomination, continuing to climb at Country Radio, and approaching 100 million streams, and the reality-checking “Sorry Mom” offering grace in retrospect, PATTERNS has emerged as one of the year’s most anticipated fall releases. Rolling Stone’s Jon Dolan recognizes Ballerini’s buoyancy in the pop culture magazine’s upcoming issue, assessing, “a characteristically varied collection that finds her looking inward with honesty and resolve, staying strong without sounding too heavy about it.”

Working with an all-female creative team, the four-time GRAMMY nominee looked to longtime collaborator Alysa Vanderheym, Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Hillary Lindsey, GRAMMY Songwriter of the Year nominee Jessie Jo Dillon and Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild to forge a sisterhood in song for the 15-song cycle that measures her life in far brighter shades. Or as

Rolling Stone opines of the feminine force of creativity, “she sings about the lifelong power of ride-or-die friendship. What comes out is an album about turning life lessons into bops and today’s hardships into tonight’s drink orders.”

To mark PATTERNS’ release, Ballerini is playing a special, sold-out in minutes, album release concert at Madison Square Garden. Truly a bucket list moment, she is celebrating the power of her emergence as a writer/artist finding a new level of creativity and connection.

"PATTERNS marks the end of my Saturn return (thank the heavens)," said Ballerini. "The beautiful and brutal look into myself and the people I love the most. The celebrations and challenges in the name of betterment, growth, and all around elevated vibes. The healthy habits that I hold close and the ones that gotta go."

Ballerini continues, "Written from my truest self, but meant for you to project onto your own lives and try on for fit. Whether you relate, want a song to cry in the back of an Uber music video style to, dramatically/drunkenly tell someone how much you love them, or scream sing about moments gone wrong before they went right...it’s all yours."

PATTERNS offers a judgment-free zone that feels good as it unpacks the patterns that get in our way and those special friends who pull up and get you through. Whether it’s the self-accepting perspective of “Nothing Really Matters,” the erotic charge of “Deep,” the girlfriends-forever bop “I Would, Would You” or the ironic “We Broke Up,” Ballerini is once again crafting songs that reflect how life evolves if you’re present and wanting to experience it at full range of (e)motion. Even “Baggage,” with its owning all the pieces of the journey suggests Ballerini’s as committed to the voyage as she is sharing all the good, bad and hilarious with her people.

Eager to hit the road following her acclaimed 2024 HEARTFIRST Tour, Ballerini is set to take her captivating live show to another level on her 30-city, three-month arena tour KELSEA BALLERINI LIVE ON TOUR, kicking off January 21, 2025, at Grand Rapids, MI’s Van Andel Arena.
