Kelsea Ballerini is Kicking it at the Beach While the Rest of Us are Freezing Our Butts Off at Home

Okay, so maybe we’re just a little (a lot) jealous that we’re not at the the beach too, but, if we’re being honest, after the incredible year breakout country artist Kelsea Ballerini has had, she deserves a break and some sunny beach time.

The year of 2015 marked the year that the 22-year-old artist came out of the woodwork and took the world by storm. She released her first album The First Time, won Billboard‘s Rising Star Award, was nominated for an AMA, CMA and CMT award and hit No. 1 with her single “Love Me Like You Mean It.”

Essentially, Kelsea and 2015 were best friends.

So, before Kelsea blows us away again in 2016 (because we know she will), the talent is taking a much needed vacation on the beach with friends and looking good while doing it.
