Does Kelsea Ballerini Have Any Siblings? All about Her Parents and Early Life

American country pop singer and songwriter Kelsea Ballerini is the only child of her parents, Ed and Carla Ballerini. 

Ballerini was born on September 12, 1993, in Mascot, Tennessee. Her father worked as a sales manager for a country music radio station, and her mother worked in the marketing department of Thomas Nelson Bible Publishing. 

The singer’s parents were highly supportive of her passion and career. Her mother enrolled her in dance classes when she was three years old. She had become a graceful dancer and was proficient in various dance forms by the age of ten.

Despite becoming the best mother and father to Ballerini, they could not keep their marriage together. After a few years of marriage, they legally divorced due to their unhealthy relationship. Carla stated that it is okay for people not to work out with each other at times.

Following Ballerini’s parent’s divorce, they lived separately and started co-parenting their daughter.

As stated earlier, she is the only child of her parents; hence, she does not have any siblings.

The singer has always been close to her parents. As a gift, she even composed a song about her mother. Carla became emotional after hearing her song.

Kelsea Ballerini’s early life 

Ballerini grew up on a small farm near Knoxville, Tennessee. Her family had a few cows and a goat, which she enjoyed playing with. 

However, the singer experienced ups and downs as a child. She coped with the consequences of her parent’s divorce.

When asked what advice she would give her younger self, she told Country Living, “I would tell myself that it is a dark time, but it will be better when they are happier.”

Ballerini also wished she could go back in time and tell her younger self that although her middle school may be challenging, things will improve in high school. She recalled, “High school is the first time that I sang a solo on stage, and high school is when I moved to Nashville, so high school was a good four years for me.”

Similarly, the singer also wished to return at the time and remind her to love herself throughout all the difficult times.

Kelsea Ballerini topped the country music charts with her debut single

At 14, Ballerini traveled to Nashville to look for a record deal. Later, she landed a contract with Balck River Entertainment at 19 due to her dedication to music. Her debut single, ‘Love Me Like You Mean,’ was released through the label in 2014. 

Later, on May 19, 2015, the singer debuted the album The First Time, which peaked at number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Her second studio album, Unapologetically, was released in November 2017.

In the fall of 2018, she became a coach on The Voice‘s fifteenth season. She joined the Grand Ole Opry in March 2019.

Ballerini has also collaborated with several well-known artists, including Jason Aldean, Morgan Evans, Shay Mooney, Dan Smyers, and many others.

Similarly, Ballerini has received numerous awards, including Rising Star at the 2015 Billboard Women in Music Awards, New Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards, Country Favorite Artist and Country Favorite at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards, and many more.

Catania’s family has occasionally made appearances on the reality show, adding their dynamic to the series. However, in a heart-wrenching turn of events, the usual drama took a deeply emotional turn when the reality star received a devastating phone call concerning her mother, Valerie Spagnola, health.

In a moment of disbelief and anguish, she exclaimed, “You’re (explicitly) kidding me.” The distressing news unfolded as her mother underwent a stress test, which was then followed by another critical examination.

Fortunately, Spagnola’s health scare resulted in a successful recovery. As always, Catania remained transparent with her followers and took to Instagram to provide an update on her mother’s condition.

Hayley Williams Has Over 10 Tattoos Inked on Her Body

For some people, getting tattoos is the best way to express themselves. 

The same is the case of the Paramore singer Hayley Williams. Williams has over 10 body ink, and she once said that she only inked something that was personal to her. 

She admitted that she only had weird tattoos, and they mainly were inside jokes. She said, “I mostly have only weird tattoos. They’re all inside jokes, and I’m always getting something that’s personal to me.”

Here are all the tattoos Williams has and the meaning behind them.

The cover-up tattoo of her ex

The Paramore singer was in a long-time relationship with Chad Gilbert. The pair started dating in late 2007, engaged on December 25, 2014, and married on February 20, 2016.

During their relationship, Williams got the initials of his name —  CEG —  tattooed across three fingers. What was a sign of love to the singer soon became a sign of regret after she and Gilbert divorced on July 1, 2017.

Gilbert had cheated on Williams, and hence, the two parted ways for good. Williams did not want to see her CEG tattoos anymore, so she covered them with three black squares in February 2018.

Related to her band, Paramore

Williams has been the lead singer of Paramore for almost two decades. As a result, she has a couple of tattoos dedicated to the band.

One of them is the logo of the band, a box with three lines, which is inked on the inner side of her left wrist. All the members of Paramore have this matching tattoo. 

Williams’s left wrist has two more tattoos. One is a line that resembles two teeth with a gap in between.

The second is the letters “AL,” which stands for their album, ‘After Laughter.’ Another body ink related to the band is Williams’s “WARPED!” tattoo with a cloud and lightning behind her ear. 

She got it to represent the storm she experienced on the Cleveland Warped Tour. On the inner side of her right ankle, she has a tattoo of a heart surrounded by patches.

Above it are the letters HHT and a pink razor blade with a banner that reads, “SHAVE ME.” HHT stands for Hurting Hearts Tour, and the razor blade is a tribute to the time she toured with her bandmates. 

Hayley Williams’ “favorites” tattoo

Willams has a lot of tattoos of her favorites, like her favorite motto, quote, or song lyrics. On her wrists, she has the words, “Accentuate the positive / Eliminate the negative” with a heart.

The lines are lyrics from the Johnny Mercer song, ‘Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive,’ one of Williams’ favorites. Similarly, she has TCB inked on the back of her left arm with a lightning bolt.

TCB stands for “Takin’ Care of Business,” the motto of Elvis Presley and the TCB band. Presley is Williams’s idol, and hence, it was a way for her to pay tribute to her idol.

Hayley Williams’ other tattoos

Williams has a matching tattoo with her sister, Erica, which they got on Erica’s 18th birthday. It is on the front of her right leg and is an art of “Mirthmobile” car from Wayne’s World that is diving into a rose.

Williams has tattoos of flowers on the left side of her midriff. It is dedicated to her two sisters, McKayla and Erica.

On her right thigh, she has a tattoo of a solid black cross, and above that, she has inked a hand holding ribbons and an envelope with red and black colors. The cross represents her faith, and the envelope represents long-distance letters and calls.

Williams and Dakotah Rae, her best friend, have a matching tattoo of an outline of a heart on their wrists.
