Kelsea Ballerini sure knows how to put on a show, doesn't she?

How to Watch

Watch The Voice on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. 

As America keeps falling more and more in love with the 31-year-old thanks to her Coaching role on The Voice this year, one live performance of hers will always live rent-free in fans' heads. Yes, we're referring to Ballerini's unbelievable duet with Noah Kahan during the 2024 American Country Music Awards.

Perched on a couch, Ballerini launched into her 2023 hit, "Mountain With a View," the heartbreaking song she wrote to get through her divorce from her ex-husband a few years ago. It was a stripped-down version of the song, with Ballerini's flawless vocals hypnotizing everybody in attendance!

But things got even wilder after she finished her first chorus joined by singer-songwriter Noah Kahan. He began playing the familiar notes of his hit "Stick Season," and it wasn't long before Ballerini joined in to officially make it a duet!

The catchy refrain never sounded better with Ballerini harmonizing courtesy of some unreal high notes. Still, when Ballerini broke away to continue the lyrics of "Mountain With a View", the performance took an unexpected and gorgeous turn.

Kahan continued strumming away, singing his lyrics to "Stick Season," while Ballerini continued singing "Mountain With a View" — their voices combined to create a one-time-only unreal music moment!

Yes, the two stars sang the lyrics to two different songs simultaneously — and it worked.

Kelsea Ballerini's boyfriend is the inspiration behind many of her new songs

Ballerini has put her past heartbreak behind her, and her latest album, Patterns, is filled with songs about her current beau, actor Chase Stokes!

"I would argue that [Patterns] is the most love-filled record I've ever made," Ballerini told Teen Vogue after the release in 2024. "I think the presence of love in every song is at the forefront."

Ballerini's relationship with Stokes is next-level adorable, and fans shouldn't be surprised that she's written a handful of songs about him already — even though they've only been dating since February 2023.

"'First Rodeo' is the first love song I wrote for Chase," she later explained on TODAY. "Really, it's essentially the first song where it's kind of like, 'OK, I feel a little fragile, I feel a little scared to open myself up to the capacity that I want to, but I love love, and I really love you.'"

It's clear Stokes holds a special place in Ballerini's heart — after all, she recently led the audience of The Voice in singing "Happy Birthday" to him! (That's love, people.)
