Kelsea Ballerini isnβt just a fan of Chappell Roanβsheβs campaigning for her.
The country star has made it clear that sheβs obsessed with Roanβs country-pop crossover track βThe Giver,β and sheβs doing everything in her power to make sure it gets the love it deserves. In an interview with People, Ballerini gushed over Roanβs artistry, saying, βI love that music is in a space where we are hopefully encouraging artists to make music that inspires them. And if she wants to make a pop song, it inspires a million people. If she wants to make a country song, it inspires a million people.β
But sheβs not just cheering from the sidelinesβsheβs actively pushing for βThe Giverβ to get airtime on country radio. Sheβs calling stations herself to request it (as in, Kelsea Ballerini is literally out here making fan requests like the rest of us). And sheβs ready to take it even further.
Her dream? To introduce Roanβs performance of the song at a country awards show. βActually, when that song came out, I texted my manager and I was like, βIf she plays a country award show, can I please intro this performance?ββ
Manifesting power: activated.
Between Roanβs undeniable talent and Balleriniβs industry muscle, βThe Giverβ might just be on its way to becoming the country crossover hit we didnβt know we needed. πΆπ₯
