Mark Stutzman has seen Kelsea Ballerini 1 time.

As soon as Kelsea Ballerini emerged in the country music scene in 2014, she began setting records. Her first three singles each reached the top spot on the Billboard Country Airplay charts, making her the first solo female country artist to accomplish the feat since Wynonna Judd in 1992. By 2018, she was exploring new sounds, adding some country twang to the synth-pop single "This Feeling" by The Chainsmokers. The following year, she was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry by Carrie Underwood. In addition to leading a successful solo music career, she's also acted as a mentor to many aspiring artists, serving as an advisor and coach on three seasons of "The Voice" between 2018 and 2021.
