PAS4: Country x Outer Banks

While country music is a distinct genre, it has been influenced by pop over the years. Many known country artists have reverted to country music, with a mix of music on the radio, such as Taylor Swift. One of the prominent country pop artists is Kelsea Ballerini.

She is 30 years old and signed her first contract in 2014. She wrote music as a child and gained fame, which allowed her to start making music for real. She has many songs that have made it to the top of the charts. While she is an awe-inspiring artist, I want to address a bit of a different topic than her music.

Kelsea Ballerini has been in the spotlight recently because of her relationship. She is dating Chase Stokes from the popular Netflix show Outer BanksThis show had an influx of viewers during COVID-19, and now they are filming the fourth season. Some drama has appeared with the actors and their love interests, involving Kelsea.  

The main characters in the show are John B and Sarah, whom Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline play. Chase and Madelyn were together in the show and in real life until their relationship ended. As viewers noticed the disdain, this caused awkwardness on set and in the show.

In a short time, rumors started that Chase Stokes was dating Kelsea Ballerini. People had differing opinions about this because many fans still wanted Chase and Madelyn together, but now most people find their relationship adorable.

The reason I am mentioning this relationship is I think it helped Kelsea gain more fans being a country pop artist, as people knew who she was, but many did not know much more. Many people of all different ages latched onto Outer Banks and watch it right when a new season comes out. These people also tend to follow information about the actors and actresses on the show.

This has allowed Kelsea to gain a new following and more publicity. She has become a more prominent name in the country and pop industries. She has now gone on to perform at music awards and do many more with a much bigger following, not only for her music but also for her life. 

She had a fantastic outfit change at the Video Music Awards that went viral and has shown a loving side with Chase. I am excited to see what more she has in store with her music career and the development of her and Chase Stokes.
