Ballerini’s photo dump also hinted at an upcoming collaboration with Patrick Droney on a song titled “Math of Us.”
Kelsea Ballerini is getting an early start to “hot girl summer.”
In a recent Instagram post, the 32-year-old country star shared a photo dump showcasing moments from her life lately, including a beach snapshot.
“Getting my steps in, making music, finding ramen, learning sports (cars go fast!), and simply vibing,” she wrote in the caption.
One of the photos showed Ballerini lying on her stomach on a beach towel by the shoreline, with the ocean in the background. She wore a black-and-white striped bikini top, gold hoop earrings, and black sunglasses, with her hair styled in braids.
In another image, she flaunted her figure in a short blue romper with a plunging halter neckline, paired with strappy heels and a gold handbag.
A separate photo featured a text exchange between Ballerini (known for “Cowboys Cry Too”) and Patrick Droney, teasing new music. The conversation included an audio file titled “Math of Us,” with both artists expressing excitement about it.
Fans quickly reacted in the comments, with one writing, “You look so beautiful and happy Kelsea Keep us updated on the new music I can’t wait to hear it when it all comes out in the next few months.” Another added, “Making music?! oh your already changing my entire life,” while a third said, “A collab with @patrickdroney?? My two worlds have collided.”
Ballerini has also made headlines this year following her breakup with Chase Stokes. The pair initially started dating in January 2023, split in September 2025, briefly reconciled, and then reportedly ended things again in February.
A source told Us Weekly that the second split happened “just the other day,” while another insider told People that “their lives are in very different places right now,” making it difficult to stay together. Following the breakup, Ballerini also sparked speculation after commenting on an Instagram video from Ashley Cooke featuring an unreleased track about a man with “wandering eyes.”
