Country pop star Kelsea Ballerini is currently performing across the U.S. on her Heart First Tour. Somewhere between Oregon and Idaho, Ballerini shared the stunning photos (and video) below from her recent travels. She captioned the first, topless photo: “sleepy girl, happy girl.”
Swipe to see Ballerini being surprised by her boyfriend, Outer Banks star Chase Stokes, at the airport. She jumps into his arms, wraps her legs around his waist and won’t let go. He replied: “my little velcro.”
Ballerini’s fans are going wild over the video and her relationship with Stokes. More than one replied: “It’s not hard to take the flight,” which is a reference to Ballerini’s single, ‘Mountain with a View,’ from her new album, Rolling Up the Welcome Mat.
The song is about her breakup with her ex-husband, country singer Morgan Evans, and includes the lyric: “you never took that last flight to see me / Looks like our ending ain’t endin’ happily.”
Keep swiping until the end — that’s Chase behind the door, looking at Kelsea as she rehearses with a guitar. As one fan replied: “The way he looks at her!” Another chimed in: “I want someone to look at me the way Chase is looking at you in the last slide.”
When Chase shared the photos (and video!) above, he wrote: “I’ve missed/lost too many flights to count anyways here’s an update on life.” Kelsea replied: “welp. turns out, i don’t actually hate surprises. best 24 hours. ugh my heart. “
