There was a bit of confusion recently when Kelsea Ballerini posted a video on Snapchat of a new song playing in the studio. Kelsea’s fans had never heard the song before, and many of them speculated that it was either a new Taylor Swift song – which Ballerini had leaked — or some kind of collaboration between the two friends. Well, it turns out it was neither. Ballerini took to Twitter yesterday afternoon (9/21) to clear things up, revealing that the new tune was actually just a demo of hers called “Roses.” Kelsea tweeted, “Y’all! I’m just as excited for some new T Swift Jams, but I’m not involved in it!! Roses was a demo of mine. Crazy confusion!”
