Nothing is quite as inspiring as falling in love. Kelsea Ballerini tapped into her real-life romance to reflect into her sophomore project and let love take over when it came to the making of her new music.

The country cutie sat down recently to chat with Entertainment Tonight about all things fashion, music and love before her debut GRAMMY performance. While previewing a few details about what’s to come on her new project, Ballerini revealed her husband-to-be inspired her in the writing room when it came to her next step.

“My first record, I really wanted it to capture 12-21, so it’s younger and youthful and it’s flirty. This one’s definitely more mature because I’m writing it from 21-23 and my life’s changed a lot. I went through a gross breakup and then I had some growing up discovery years, and then I met Morgan. So I think it captures all of that,” she said of her developing sound.

Before spoiling too many details about the anticipated release, she clued fans in that she has a potential album title she wants to keep underwraps as the production side goes on. She did, though, let fans in on how she fell in love and how unexpected their whirlwind courtship was to lead them to their future nuptials.

“I was anti-love, anti-dudes, anti-thinking about futures before him,” Ballerini said. “I always remember people telling me, ‘When you know, you know.’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean? That makes no sense to me.’ And then, for real, within weeks, I was like, ‘Whenever. Yeah, I’m in.'”

The “Peter Pan” singer will be heading out on the road with Thomas Rhett for the Home Team Tour this spring. Fans can find out more details about tickets and cities on her website.
