Watch: Kelsea Ballerini Shares Update On Single Life In NYC | 94.3 WKKJ

Kelsea Ballerini opened up about her new chapter — including her single life — in New York City.

Ballerini, 32, joined Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones on TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle on Friday morning (April 17). The country superstar spoke with the TODAY hosts about her temporary move to the city from Nashville, Tennessee, her single life, working on new music, opening up about wanting to be a mother in “I Sit in Parks,” a new competition for musicians and more.

“I’m in love with it here,” Ballerini beamed when asked about her move to NYC. She’ll live there “through the summer for now,” she said. “I want to make my next record up here. But down the road, I don’t know. I really am loving it. It’s just such an alive place. It’s so creative. …I’m loving this chapter of life just because I really feel like I’m being really intentional about connecting to myself,” she added later of her current chapter, including being single. “Also, being off the road right now, this is my first time not touring in a while, and being somewhere new and making new friends. I just haven’t had the time to invest in myself like that for a while.”

Ballerini went on to open up about a three-day intensive therapy program to delve into people-pleasing patterns and the understanding she gained in the process. The singer-songwriter said, “I don’t want to give anyone else the power to tell me how I should feel about myself, or my choices, or the life I choose to lead.”

Ballerini most recently dated Outer Banks star Chase Stokes. Though rumors recently spread that she was dating Southern Charm star Craig Conover, unnamed “sources with direct knowledge” told TMZ earlier this week that those rumors are not true.

Ballerini revealed she moved to New York City when she took the stage at Carnegie Hall last month, during the Evening with the Grand Ole Opry show. She shared with the audience at the time, “I just moved here. Ever since I was a little kid and I got to come here for the first time I always promised myself that I would do a season or a chapter of life in the city and that season and chapter is right now. I don’t know how long that’s gonna last, but I’m really loving it.” She added later, “you can take the girl out of Nashville, but you can’t take the Nashville out of the girl.”

I don’t know how long that’s gonna last, but I’m really loving it.” She added later, “you can take the girl out of Nashville, but you can’t take the Nashville out of the girl.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Watch Ballerini’s \u003cem>TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle\u003c/em> interview \u003ca href=\”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zag0kogxnP0\”

country star, nearing his 27th birthday, delivered a riveting new single this month. Zeiders teamed up with \u003cstrong>Evan Blair\u003c/strong>, \u003cstrong>Jesse Fink\u003c/strong>, \u003cstrong>Michael Pollack\u003c/strong>, \u003cstrong>J Kash\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Elof Loelv\u003c/strong> to write “\u003ca href=\”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXZlM69BvvE\” target=\”_blank\”>Drinking Game\u003c/a>.” The infectious anthem is described as “a rollercoaster of emotions from an on-and-off love; just a drinking game he ‘can’t stop playing,’” states a recently-issued press release announcing the song’s debut.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>“Drinking Game” switches gears from Zeiders’ previous single, “\u003ca href=\”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OnLvjQ37Do\” target=\”_blank\”>Born to Be Yours\u003c/a>,” which he dropped in February 2026. The “swoon worthy track,” the release deems, is one that Zeiders described as “a future letter to my wife,” in a recent conversation with iHeartCountry. The “Pretty Little Poison” artist explained that he wrote “Born to Be Yours” while working on his latest record, 2025’s \u003cem>Relapse, Lies, & Betrayal\u003c/em>, but “it didn’t feel right yet,” to include the track on the album.

He was constantly surrounded by music; however, he “never thought to pursue it,” until later. The dedicated lacrosse player often focused on his athletics until he found some musical success on TikTok.

The 21-track live album captures the highly-anticipated performance that concluded Zeiders’ 2025 headlining tour.

Zeiders told iHeartCountry that a lot of “brainstorming” has gone into his Stagecoach set list. He couldn’t tease much, but looked ahead to a high-energy performance and seeing “who I can bump into backstage, and just hang out…and have a good time.” He hoped to talk with Post Malone, and reunite with Brooks & Dunn after joining them on “Brand New Man” on the duo’s \u003cem>Reboot II \u003c/em>album.

Friday\u003c/a> (April 17) in Daejeon, South Korea, after spending nine days on the run. Neukgu, who burrowed out of his enclosure at the O-World theme park zoo on April 8, became a national sensation as hundreds of rescue workers, drones, and veterinarians joined the search effort. The search ended at 12:44 a.m. when rescuers tranquilized Neukgu near an expressway following a tip-off, according to Daejeon city officials.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Authorities said Neukgu was moving quickly when they located him and used a drone to monitor his movements. Once tranquilized, he was carried to safety and brought back to the zoo for a medical check. Veterinarians found that Neukgu was in stable condition, had not lost much weight, and appeared to have eaten during his time outside. However, they discovered and removed a fishing hook from his stomach using endoscopic surgery.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>The wolf’s escape had sparked concern from animal rights groups, who feared for his survival and safety, especially given a past incident in which a puma was killed during a capture attempt at the same zoo in 2018.

1970s.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Belles wrote the modern “Jolene” sequel “as a clever, character-driven continuation of the classic story, imagining a chance encounter years later with Jolene’s son,” states a press release issued Friday (April 17). Parton is credited as a writer on the newly-debuted track, along with songwriters \u003cstrong>Dan Harrison\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Tyler Bank\u003c/strong>. Belles honors Parton’s iconic ‘70s song while offering a fresh perspective with her “vivid storytelling.” Throughout “Son of Jolene,” listeners will catch unmistakable nods to Parton’s original, including the signature emerald green eyes and auburn locks that the “Son of Jolene” inherited from his mother. Belles sings, “Now I know how Dolly felt.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cblockquote>“Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene/ It’s something that you’d never understand/ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene/ That boy you raised will never be a man”\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003cp>“I grew up so inspired by Dolly and the worlds she created through her songs,” Belles said in a statement. “Having her lend her voice to this record is beyond anything I could have imagined. It feels like a full-circle moment and a true honor.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Parton reflected, “when I heard ‘Son of Jolene,’ I thought it was very clever. No one had ever thought of it that way.” Earlier this month, Belles shared a clip of the moment Parton shared the story behind her timeless single.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>“\u003ca href=\”https://country.iheart.com/content/2026-04-14-watch-dolly-parton-tell-the-story-behind-one-of-her-most-iconic-hits/\” target=\”_blank\”>Jolene was two different people for me\u003c/a>,” Parton said in the clip. “When I met a little girl years ago, and her name was Jolene, she asked me to sign (something for her). I said, ‘I bet you’re named after your dad. I bet your dad’s name is Joe.’ And she said, ‘no, it’s just Jolene.’ And I said, ‘I love that name.’ …I said, ‘I’m gonna write a song about you one day,’ just because I love that name. And so, I had a reason to write a song. I changed the name of the real girl. So, when I was on my way from the stage to my bus, I kept singing, ‘Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,’ just so I wouldn’t forget until I wrote it down. …I guess we both have our own Jolene story.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>“Son of Jolene” arrives ahead of Belles’ debut studio album, releasing later this year.
