Kelsea Ballerini is moving on from her duties as a coach on season 27 of “The Voice.” It was a good run for the country star, but she’s ready for a new chapter. Find out what’s next for Ballerini.

Kelsea Ballerini Says Her Post-‘Voice’ Plans Are a Bit More Relaxed

Ballerini wrapped up her first headlining arena tour in early April and will see the end of her coaching duties on “The Voice” on May 20. To say she’s had a busy 2025 so far is an understatement. Needless to say, she’s looking to catch her breath a bit and have some downtime.

The country singer spoke with Extra TV following “The Voice” semi-finals and, when asked how she’ll top her recent accomplishments, she answered, “I don’t know.”

Ballerini continued, “I’m really in this chapter where I’ve always been very goal oriented and I have this bucket list and I update it every year at the beginning of the year and I send it to my team and we’ve crossed a lot off.”

She added, “And so I think this next chapter for me is going to … I’m going to be quiet for a little bit and figure out what’s next and actually take that time to be intentional with myself and my real life and make sure that whatever is next is thoughtful.”

In a May 2025 interview with Country Now, Ballerini also dished on what’s ahead for her in the near future. “I’m going to shift into real life for a bit and hopefully within doing that for a while, start to very slowly write again and figure out what’s next.”

“But catch me in Charleston with the dogs,” she added. “That’s where I’ll be for most of the summer.”

Ballerini Shares 1 of the Best Parts of Coaching

When Extra TV asked Ballerini about the “best part” of helping “The Voice” singers, she explained how she also gained something. “I honestly feel like every time I’m giving advice, I’m also reminding myself to take it. Because I’ve been in such a whirlwind season of my career that I also need a tune-up.”

She noted that her advice is a helpful reminder for her own career, saying, “That’s been a really beautiful kind of mirror experience.”

Ballerini also touched on one of the challenges she faced coming on the show since she doesn’t feel she’s “a household name” like the other coaches.

“I knew that was going to be mainly a challenge for myself to still feel like I had value in the seat,” she explained. “And I think that’s been the most beautiful thing, is like finding that value and also reminding myself how to be the best artist I can be too.”
