Said Kelsea Ballerini, “They say don’t meet your heroes…unless your hero is Shania Twain…then meet her, know her, and make music with her. She’s inspired me in every way and has become a mentor and friend and added some major sass and spice to hole in the bottle the way only Shania could.”
Said Shania Twain, “Kelsea and I have had some fun laughs together over the last couple of years! She joined me on stage back in 2017 when I headlined Stagecoach and we’ve had a chance to catch up over a glass of wine a couple of times since. We’ve also sent pieces of songs back and forth to each other and I have to say, she’s an incredible raw talent. I love ‘hole in the bottle,’ it really speaks to my own sense of humor and it was so cool to get to do it with a friend.”
The whimsical and lyrically playful “hole in the bottle” is the third single off of Ballerini’s 2020 studio album kelsea (Black River Entertainment) and is currently climbing Country radio charts at #13 on Mediabase and #15 on Billboard. It is accompanied by a stylistic video filled with bright colors and roaring 20’s inspired black-and-white scenes, directed by Hannah Lux Davis.
