Kelsea Ballerini Turns 30, Reflects on Upcoming Phase of Her Career: 'I Have No Regrets'

Kelsea Ballerini is one of the rising stars in country music, and she is about to up the ante after turning 30.

During an interview, the singer reflected on the career she launched when she was just 19 years old, and how it is now different over a decade later.

"I feel really content that I have lived every ounce of my 20s," the "If You Go Down" singer told E! News. "I have no regrets and feel like I left no stone unturned."

From Ballerini's debut album, "The First Time," which was released in 2015, up until her most recent one, "Subject to Change," released in 2022, the singer has shown different aspects of her life and how she has grown from a small-town new-comer to a country music star.

In fact, the singer revealed that she found another side to her last year, "I felt this internal shift a little bit in the last year, so if I can just keep down that road, I feel like that's a win."

The major shift in Ballerini's life is her divorce from Morgan Evans after five years of marriage. However, it seems like the "Love Me Like You Mean It" singer has moved on from the heartbreak, and is ready for more excitement in her life.

Despite having a rough 2022, Ballerini is determined to turn things around for this year, as she enters a new chapter of her life.

"Every woman that I've talked to has said that the 30s are the best years," she said. "Where you really come into yourself, and you really learn how to stand your ground and love yourself differently and more fully-I really look forward to that."

Ballerini did not let on if the shift she has experienced-or continues to experience will manifest in her upcoming music, however, knowing the singer, it will.

According to reports, the "Heartfirst" singer was very candid about her divorce from Evans, and how it had affected her during her sit-down interview with the "Call Her Daddy" podcast.

"There were separations, there was years of couples therapy. There was like, many a night of sleeping on the couch," Ballerini revealed.

"I don't think it was the first night, but it was a night where I was like, this is not what I want."

The singer also revealed more about her tumultuous relationship in recently released songs, "Blindsided" and "Mountain with a View."
