Kelsea Ballerini showcased her stunning figure as she posed in a stylish swimsuit while celebrating the Fourth of July. The country music star, 30, who recently opened up about how her boyfriend Chase Stokes calms her nerves before red carpet events, looked incredible in a red bikini and cowgirl hat as she enjoyed the summer sun. Ballerini, known for hits like “Miss Me More,” shared a snap from the holiday on her Instagram, showing off her toned figure in the skimpy two-piece.

The singer paired the red bikini top and matching drawstring bottoms with brown cowboy boots and a tan hat, her blonde locks flowing naturally past her shoulders. She kept the look simple, opting for minimal jewelry as she took a dip in the pool to cool off from the summer heat. In the photo, Ballerini strikes a quick pose next to the pool, surrounded by lush greenery and with adorable dogs by her side.

The caption on her post read, “happy 4th of july!!!! makes me wanna hot dog reallll badddd,” showing her playful side. She also shared a story on Instagram, giving her followers a glimpse of her cowgirl boots as she stood next to the pool.

In a recent interview with New Beauty, Ballerini discussed her summer plans and her upcoming role as a coach on The Voice. She expressed her desire to explore the West Coast and take some time off to relax and enjoy the season.

The singer also shared her feelings about temporarily relocating from Nashville to Los Angeles for The Voice, admitting that the move made her “shake in her boots.” However, she is excited about the opportunity to try something new and invest in music in a different way.

Ballerini also gushed about how Stokes, known for his role in Outer Banks, helps ease her nerves at red carpet events. She recalled her first time attending the MET Gala this year and how having Stokes by her side made her feel more comfortable.

The couple first sparked romance rumors in January 2023 and later confirmed their relationship. Ballerini was previously married to singer Morgan Evans, but they separated in 2022. She has since been focused on her music career, recently releasing the single “Cowboys Cry Too” with Noah Kahan.

The song is the lead single from her upcoming fifth studio album, and Ballerini has expressed excitement about this new chapter in her music journey. She has also shared that she has “shot everything” for the album and is eager to bring it to life visually.
