Kelsea Ballerini has been really busy as of late, and is ready to slow things down. She released her fifth album, Patterns, in October, and launched her first headlining area tour in January in support of the record. 2025 also found the 31-year-old country music star beginning her first season as a coach on The Voice. During an appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends on Thursday (May 29), Ballerini reflected on what she wants to do next. “I need a break!” Ballerini admits. “And I’ve never been able to say that before, but I really think it’s just time for me to pump the brakes, figure out what’s next, have a summer. So that’s kind of my agenda.” Ballerini is set to appear at CMA Fest in Nashville this weekend (June 5-8), and hasn’t ruled out returning to The Voice in the future. “It’s been such a beautiful season of doing things that are out of my comfort zone and bigger than I’ve ever done, and it’s been really fulfilling. I love being in that seat,” she said. (Rolling Stone)
