Just days after dropping her latest song, “Two Things,” Kelsea Ballerini graced the stage at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards with a mesmerizing performance that had fans and viewers talking.
The country music star delivered an emotional and vulnerable rendition of the song, bringing her raw and honest lyrics to life in a way that only Kelsea can.
Ballerini’s performance started on a powerful note, literally looking inward.
As the camera zoomed in on her reflection on the floor, it set the tone for the introspective nature of the song.
Soon after, the camera panned up, revealing Ballerini standing in a dreamy field of flowers.
It was a soft yet striking visual that fit perfectly with the vulnerability of the lyrics.
As she sang, Ballerini rose to her feet and began walking across the stage, captivating the audience with every step.
The performance felt intimate and personal , but at the same time, it was powerful enough to fill the room.
The way she engaged with the crowd made it clear just how much this song means to her.
In the chorus, Ballerini’s lyrics hit home for anyone who’s experienced the complexities of love:
“Two things can be true / I’ll love and hate you / I’ll be your best and your worst day / I’ll be your blessin’ and curse, babe, yeah / Sometimes I’ll cut and ghost / But sometimes I’ll get too close / You’re nothin’ and everythin’ I got to lose / Two things can be true.”
The duality she explores in “ Two Things“—the push and pull of relationships , the highs and lows—resonated with the audience, who were captivated throughout the entire performance.
This year’s People’s Choice Country Awards proved to be a big night for Ballerini, as she was nominated in four categories, showcasing her versatility as both an artist and a storyteller.
She earned nods for Female Artist of the Yearand Social Country Star, two categories that highlight her prominence not only in music but also in her online presence and connection with fans.
Her work alongside Noah Kahan also earned her nominations for Crossover Song of the Year(“ Cowboys Cry Too “) and Storyteller Song of the Year(“ Sorry Mom “).
Both songs represent different facets of Ballerini’s artistic range, blending storytelling with heartfelt emotion—a combination that continues to win her critical acclaim.
Of course, no award show is complete without a red carpet moment, and Ballerini’s didn’t disappoint.
She arrived at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, hand-in-hand with her boyfriend, Chase Stokes, star of the popular series Outer Banks .
The couple looked effortlessly in love, sharing sweet moments for the cameras and sparking plenty of buzz with their adorable chemistry.
They didn’t shy away from public displays of affection, and fans were delighted to see the pair looking so happy together.
Adding to the night’s excitement was the fact that country icon Shania Twain hosted the show, which took place at one of country music’s most iconic venues: the Grand Ole Opry.
The event was a celebration of country music’s finest, and having Twain at the helm made it even more special.
Her hosting added a touch of nostalgia and energy to the night, and the audience couldn’t have asked for a better guide through the festivities.
Fans at home had the chance to tune in via NBC or stream the event on Peacock, ensuring that Ballerini’s fans—and country music lovers in general—didn’t miss a beat.
