Kelsea Ballerini’s new part in an upcoming medical drama is sure to make a big splash.
Her move into performing shows that she is open to trying new things in the entertainment industry, beyond her successful singing industry.
She used to focus on singing, but her new job gives her a chance to try something new, and is a challenge.
This change shows how she is still growing as an artist and how ready she is to try new artistic things.
As Ballerini takes on her new job, her journey shows how people grow and change in the entertainment industry, which is always changing.
Doctor Odyssey, a much-anticipated medical thriller set on a fancy cruise ship, will make its debut on ABC on September 26.
The show can also be watched on Hulu, and its new clip, which came out on September 17, has gotten a lot of attention.
Country music stars Kelsea Ballerini and Shania Twain will be appearing on the show as guests, but we do not know what their parts will be yet.
In scenes shown in the video, Dr. Max (Joshua Jackson), the ship’s main doctor, checks out Ballerini’s character.
Shania Twain and Don Johnson are seen dancing together in the ship’s hall, which is another interesting scene. His part in the series is still unknown.
In an Instagram post, Ballerini talked about how excited she was to be on the show, saying that she was “screaming, crying, and throwing up” and that it was a “dramatic, fabulous world.” “Bucket list” moment for her, she said, was being a guest star.
Doctor Odyssey follows Dr. Max and the ship’s medical staff as they deal with different medical situations. Don Johnson, Phillipa Soo, and Sean Teale are also in the group, along with Jackson.
Jackson, who is known for his parts in Dr. Death and Dawson’s Creek, is the ship’s doctor. Jon Robin Baitz, Joe Baken, and Ryan Murphy came up with the idea for the show, and Paris Barclay directed and oversaw its production.
Ballerini was on the TV show Nashville in 2016, but she is better known for her music videos, such as those from her 2023 album Rolling Up the Welcome Mat.
Twain has been a guest star on TV shows like Monarch, Broad City, and A Man in Full in the past.
Doctor Odyssey looks like it will be a mix of medical drama and high-seas adventure, with its unique cruise ship setting and star-studded cast.
When it starts airing later this month, it will have both gripping stories and exciting guest visits.
Kelsea Ballerini had hinted before that she might want to become an actress. In an interview on June 21, 2024, she said that she is likely to start acting soon, even though she had turned down several offers before.
Ballerini has hosted the CMT Music Awards for several years in a row, saying that the 2024 show would be her last. She is known for being naturally comfortable on TV and as a host.
In the coming year, she will also be a judge on The Voice. However, she has been hesitant to try acting, even though Chase Stokes, her boyfriend, is an actress.
In the interview with Taste of Country Nights , Ballerini said she had always turned down offers to be an actress, calling it a “hard “no”because she was afraid of failing. Her tendency to be an expert made her hesitant.
Even Ballerini’s close friend Reese Witherspoon told her she should try acting, but until recently, she was not able to do it.
Ballerini said that she has started to face her fears, like the thought of acting, over the last few years. She said she was not sure what her part would be, but she would “probably try it” soon.
When asked which role she would like to play most, she joked that she would like to play herself.
In March 2024, Ballerini had said that she wanted to grow her job and try other artistic activities, such as singing.
Even though she was interested in acting, she made it clear that she would not be on Outer Banks, the famous Netflix show starring her boyfriend Chase Stokes.
She said that they support each other by going to each other’s events, like hers when she is on tour and his when he is on set, but they like to keep their work names separate.
As Ballerini’s business grows, she has also worked hard to find a balance between her growing fame and her need for privacy.
She said that she is still finding out how to deal with the extra attention in her life. She likes being herself and staying true to herself, but she has started to protect herself more.
Kelsea Ballerini has had a great career in country music and is now trying her hand at new things. She is best known for her future part in Doctor Odyssey. Ballerini turned 31 years old in September 2024.
She was born in September 1993. She got her first record deal when she was 19 years old, which was early in her career. She has had a lot of hits with her four solo records over the years.
In 2016, Billboard named her the first female artist to top both the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay lists at the same time.
Carrie Underwood made Ballerini the youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry when she was welcomed into the group in 2019.
This was a big moment in her career. Ballerini has done a lot more than just hit songs. She had been nominated for 25 awards by 2022. Eight of them were for the Academy of Country Music Award, which she won twice.
She was also nominated for six CMT Music Awards and two Grammys. In the same year, she co-hosted the CMT Music Awards with Anthony Mackie, which made her even more well-known. She began making music when she was young.
When she was 12, she wrote her mother, Carla Ballerini, her first song. The song was a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift called “Oh Mama,” and her mother responded very emotionally to it.
Ballerini’s future in music was set by this early experience writing songs. Her close friendship with her mother is still an important part of her life.
She even took her as her date to the 2017 Grammy Awards. Ballerini originally wanted to be a doctor instead of a singer, which is an interesting fact.
She did performing arts as a child, but she did not think she would become a musician.
However, the stress of her parents’ split made her write songs as a way to deal with her feelings, which is what finally led her to switch her focus from veterinary medicine to singing.
This personal experience affected her music, including the 2015 song “Secondhand Smoke,” which is about the problems she had as a child. Ballerini’s first try to get a record deal in Nashville, when she was 14, failed.
A record label head told her, “There is already a Taylor Swift,” which meant she was not good enough. “That time slot is already taken.”
Even though it hurt, this rejection taught her how important it is to stand out in the business.
Ballerini was persistent, and it paid off when she and her mother moved to Nashville a year later.
There, she signed a writing deal and then a music contract when she was 19. Even though Ballerini is very successful as a singer, she still enjoys ranch dressing, which she likes to eat with strange foods like steak and pizza.
She even made a funny Instagram video in which she does pushups while putting potato chips in ranch sauce because of her strange eating habits.
“ Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” a standard from “The Wizard of Oz,” is Ballerini’s favorite song. It has been a comfort to her since she was a kid.
Because she liked the 1939 movie so much, she dressed up as Dorothy more than once for Halloween.
