Kelsea Ballerini Calls Noah Kahan ‘a Joy' to Perform With

Kelsea Ballerini is opening up about her close bond with Noah Kahan following their emotional duet at CMA Fest, and she has nothing but praise for her friend and collaborator. In a new interview with People, Ballerini shared how her friendship with the Stick Season singer has blossomed beyond music. 'I adore Noah,' she said. 'I got to know him as an artist and a collaborator, but now we're dear friends and I just can't say enough about the human being that he is. He's a good human.' More from Billboard Rachel Zegler Serenades Crowd Outside Theater for Free in a New London Production of 'Evita' Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to Receive Vanguard Award at The Guitar Center Music Foundation Gala & Benefit Concert Shakira Announces Two More Dates in Mexico, Extending Record to 28 The two artists performed together on the main stage at Nashville's Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest 2025, singing their 2024 duet 'Cowboys Cry Too' as well as Kahan's breakout hit 'Stick Season.' Ballerini recalled texting Kahan just days before the show. 'I was like, 'I'm sure the answer is you want to be a hermit right now, but just in case, do you want to come play CMA Fest?'' His response? ''I've never done CMA Fest. I've never played a stadium.' I was like, 'Didn't you headline Fenway?' And he said, 'Yeah, but a proper football stadium.'' According to Ballerini, Kahan said yes at the very last minute. Even after her set was cut short due to rain, she insisted on performing 'Stick Season' with him. 'You came all the way down here with your friends and your family,' she said. 'We have to do 'Stick Season.'' '[Noah] is just a joy to be on stage with,' Ballerini added. 'He has that 'I'm just happy to be here' mentality, which I love.' The pair first teamed up for 'Cowboys Cry Too,' released in April 2024, which Ballerini previously called a career highlight. 'Thank you @noahkahanmusic for adding your uninhibited perspective and songwriting brilliance into this song,' she wrote at the time. 'I couldn't be more proud to put this music and message out alongside such a lovely artist and friend.' Both artists have had busy years. Kahan's Stick Season (Forever) reissue debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 in February, while Ballerini made a return to the main stage at CMA Fest and is now a brand ambassador for energy drink Celsius, which she affectionately calls 'Kelsius.'

Kelsea Ballerini doesn't want exercise to be a 'punishment'

Kelsea Ballerini doesn't want exercise to "feel like a punishment". The 31-year-old singer's favourite way of keeping in shape is to go for a good long walk, but she also takes regular Pilates classes because she "doesn't hate" doing it as much as other formers of keeping fit. She told People magazine about her fitness routine: "For me, it's walks. Walking is so good for you. It also makes you get fresh air and some good sunshine, and that's so good for your mental health. "I'm a Pilates girly. That for me has been my tried and true the last five years because I don't hate doing it, and I don't want working out to feel like a punishment." When it comes to her diet, Kelsea follows an "80/20 rule". She explained: "So 80% of the time I'm really healthy, 20 per cent of the time catch me at McDonald's. "My favourite thing to cook — I've been upping my protein a lot recently just because I didn't realise how much protein we're supposed to have as women— and I cook a really good chimichurri steak ... that is my go-to. "I'll do it a couple of times a week. I have some in the fridge downstairs ready to go." The Cowboys Cry Too singer loves an occasional treat meal from McDonalds, which she believes is a throwback to her childhood. She said: "As a kid, I was such a picky eater, and my parents joke with me, like, 'All you would eat were waffles and chicken nuggets.' So I think it's just probably my inner child craving it still." As she gets older, Kelsea's attitude to fitness has changed with her desire to be "360 healthy". She said: "I think especially in my early twenties and mid-twenties, the idea of fitness was very much only aesthetically driven, and that was my goal. "The older I've gotten, [the more] mentally healthier I've gotten as well... "I want to be mentally healthy. I want to be physically healthy, emotionally healthy, and I want to be able to sustain the life and the career that I've been lucky enough to build for myself... "It's the most important thing to me now, honestly."
