Sometimes, you just have to treat yourself.
Kelsea Ballerini has achieved the unthinkable since bursting onto the Country music scene, earning three chart-topping songs, a Gold-certified album, and a handful of awards. But now that she’s got a little jingle in her pocket, that doesn’t mean she’s constantly splurging on fancy things for herself. In fact, it took her quite some time to make her first big purchase: a fashion staple she’s had her eye on for years.
“I’ve always wanted a pair of [Christian] Louboutin [stilettos],” admitted Ballerini in an interview with GQ. “I grew up seeing them in movies. I told myself if ‘Peter Pan’ went No. 1 I was going to get them. And then I was in New York and I put them on my feet and they were very expensive and I didn’t get them. I said, ‘OK, Kelsea. If you win CMA Best New Artist you’re getting these shoes.'”
That, unfortunately, didn’t happen, but that didn’t stop the Tennessee native from treating herself to the stilettos.
“I lost,” she recalled. “The next day I went and got them.”
Ballerini’s latest single, “Yeah Boy,” is at Country radio now.
