Kelsea Ballerini is about to be the first woman to headline CMT Storytellers.

She says, “Songwriting is my therapy, my haven, my best friend, and my exhale. It’s the purest part of what I do, and I am grateful to join a lineup of storytellers I’ve learned from as I tell mine.”

Kelsea’s episode premieres tomorrow (Thursday) at 10 p.m. ET.
