Kelsea Ballerini has just crossed a great milestone in this career, and it seems the whole world is going crazy about it. The country pop tweeted about being one of the featured women on Variety’s inaugural Power of Women: Nashville cover. Nothing, I mean, people are hyped- like REALLY hyped.

It’s that simple tweet, as well as a consistent commercial for excitement. “absolutely honored to be one of the ladies on the first ever @Variety power of women: nashville cover!!! 💕: so to the point.” Ballerini had that tied up with a source to what is likely the cover reveal. The picture shows her in a stunning pink dress with those signature green eyes popping like crazy. And yeah, it has come then noticed.
First up is user @goldengibees: they get right to the point with their reaction: ‘no bc the green eyes with the pink dress is giving wicked im so obsessed.’ And honestly? Same. It’s unreal color contrast, giving mad Elphaba vibes in the best way possible. Somebody get this girl a broomstick because she’s flying high with this cover.
Then there is @sarahtonin3021, who basically screamed ‘YESSS KELSEA’ in all caps, which is pretty much the energy we needed today. Zero chill, just pure excitement. Meanwhile, @the1_tator kept it sweet with ‘So happy for you KB 💖,’ proving that sometimes less is more when you’re just generally stoked for someone.
Well, the pride train certainly did not stop there as @blondeantihero hit us with ‘That’s our girl!!!! So proud,’ and honestly, that’s the kind of supportive energy we all want in life. Same goes for @RiskyBusinessLM, who wrote, “I’m soooo proud of you Kelsea!!! Congratulations on the cover!” Like, can we just take a second to appreciate how wholesome those reactions are?
@Dakotasversion and @ExileftNini kept it short but powerful with ‘Yessss KB! ✨’ and ‘That’s our girl!!!’ respectively. Sometimes you don’t need a whole paragraph to show love-but a few words and some exclamation points do the trick.
But what makes this cover so special? That’s because Variety’s Power of Women is actually a J-A-C-K of a big deal in terms of the industry because it’s a magazine where she features incredible women doing their own things. And Nashville? This is the first time ever that the magazine is penning a cover for power women in this city. The way this cover stands proud next to other pioneering women working in music, media, and beyond is just very bona fide, as well as the reactions to it.
“Ballerini could not have more on fire today-new stuff, killer performances, and now this? Pretty much a given that 2024 is her year and we all just happen to be living in it.”

One thing is for sure: if the internet reaction is anything to go by, then this cover is just the prologue in an epic novel. Undeniably, Ballerini’s star status is made brighter by such support; these skies are definitely high. Now, would you leave us alone? We would prefer drooling over this pink dress and green-eyed combination for at least the next hour. Not sorry.
