American country pop singer and songwriter Kelsea Ballerini releases her hotly anticipated debut studio album, 'The First Time!'

Ballerini launched to stardom with the release of her 2014 #1, Gold-certified debut "Love Me Like You Mean It." Ballerini is the first solo female artist in nine years to hit #1 with her debut single and is one of only 11 women to have ever hit the top of the charts with a debut release.
 
Kelsea was honoured with the Rising Star award at Billboard's Women in Music event in December 2015 - an honour awarded to Ariana Grande in 2014. She was also recently named Radio Disney's "Next Big Thing."
