Kelsea Ballerini took part in the International Women’s Day special “SeeHer Hear Her: Celebrating Women in Music” last night, where she opened up struggling with her confidence.

“I’m not always confident. And I think that no one is,” she shares. “And if you are, congratulations, I would love to take classes from you. I don’t think we live in a world where you can feel amazing in your skin all the time, because it’s really hard.”

Kelsea notes that she does her best to be “authentic,” which sometimes comes across as being confident, but explains, “it’s really just kind of being vulnerable and not feeling confident all the time.”

She adds, “I also think when you feel your feelings and when you own how you’re feeling, whether that be celebratory or in a valley, that’s how you move forward and move on and become better and stronger and bolder and all those things.”

Kelsea also opened up on several other subjects, including her childhood, noting growing up her life was like “the epitome of a country music song childhood.” She talked about being inspired by Kelly Clarkson after seeing her a concert when she was 13 and also discussed how songwriting was an outlet for all she was going through when she was young and her parents were splitting up.

And when it comes to beauty she admits that she loves getting dressed up and putting on make up and all that stuff but notes, “the importance I put on that part, not only of my career, but as my worth as a woman, is definitely not the same as it was five years ago…thank God.”
