I think we may be getting the HITB music video soon. On her recent Instagram post she commented “🍷🎥 + ♍️🩰🪕” when asked for hints on what the “fun” was. Someone deciphered it to be HITB Music Video on her Birthday (Sept 12). I think you're right:

Okay, that was an entertaining video. I love the effort put in. She looks SO HOT in that underwear/boots scene where she is painting. Great work 👌🏽

Really hoping this song gains momentum and gives her album legs. Its just full of BOPS. Give Bragger to the pop world, Kelsea :)

Love the new video. It's amazing!
Kelsea has something huge in the works which will be revealed in the near future. I've been sworn to secrecy but it's something totally unexpected and hopefully you're gonna love it. It should provide a major boost to this era. Kelsea, you are so brilliant.

Is this about her single or the whole album?

A theory: a follow-up album/part two titled Ballerini?

Boy she sure is bitter about not getting any ACM nom. But then again with a nasty person like Miranda getting so many, I kinda tend to agree. Country music is a political joke. It really shows the flaws with major labels having all the power and nominations.

It’s a reach....but that little bit from the ballerini clip sounds like parts of flip phone? I’m sorry I’d include the posts but I still haven’t figured out how to link them lol. But she gave a bunch of hints on Twitter earlier. Something about cheetah print, something about Maddie & Tae. These Easter eggs give me stress, y’all😂.

I really hope this is a brand new album with at least 12 new tracks, and not an acoustic album or every kelsea song with a featured artists. Kelsea revealed that the clock and leo wall in the new music video are hints. People are guessing something is coming on September 11, and it has something to do with Shania Twain, because of her iconic music video. Edit: You can already pre-save whatever it is, it says it's coming September 10th: orcd.co/ballerini

Same songs, new takes. Confirmed on her socials.
Out 9/11
"Club" is out now:
Not a bad move, the release got lost in the height of the pandemic, so this could breathe some new life into it.

I always love when people do reimagined takes of their albums. Not too sure about the new arrangement of 'club', but maybe it'll grow on me. Her voice sounds great but I'm not sure about the new melody, if I'm honest. Am super excited about this new record, though.
Any confirmation yet if it's all acoustic?

It is mostly acoustic and piano but some really nice country touches have been added. I think my favorite is Love and Hate which has beautiful country instrumentation. LA sounds like it has some mild electric rhythm guitar in the background.

I think the new version of Club is nice, but I prefer the orginal, and I am not sure I am here to buy a whole album of alternative versions of the original song. Personally I would have gone with the deluxe with new tracks plan, but I think they had to release something new and this album deserves a bit more exposure anyway. Given we are probably in for a 6+ month climb for Hole In the Bottle, it might be they decide to release a deluxe with the next single or move on completely, which would be a shame... Are they releasing the duets as solo versions or do you think they got someone else to take over those? Maybe Maddie & Tae for The Other Girl?

The songs which were previously duets are now solo versions.

A few older tracks leaked, I'm still waiting for the ones she shared snippets about. I just can't forget about them :/

Do you know which songs leaked? I'm trying to keep track of which ones are in circulation the best I can.

The most recents (like last month or so) have been the studio versions of Goody Two Shoes and Love Ain’t That Blind, along with I Want a Man, Stealing My Thunder, Ain’t Your Girl No More, Secret, and Lifeline. Limousine and June leaked today though.
March - July was pretty dead though.

Thanks for the updates. Limousine and June had actually leaked 1-2 years ago but I guess they didn't enter heavy circulation. I really love both of those songs. Limousine received a studio update (2.0 and 3.0 versions) that both sound quite a bit different than the original. The 3.0 was done fairly recently which makes me think it might be under consideration as a Deluxe track.

Just listened through ballerini... Most of the songs are very good. They all sound nice and display her fantastic vocal prowess, but there are some of them where I'm not sure about the re-worked melodies. Overall there are several where I think I prefer the stripped-down versions than those released earlier this year. Songs where I prefer the ballerini takes to the kelsea ones (this is based on a single listen, so this might change): - overshare
- love and hate (sounds less overdone than the original)
- needy (I especially like how the bridge sounds more Kelsea Ballerini and less Julia Michaels)
Also on the fence as to whether I prefer:
- bragger (about equal?)
- hole in the bottle (possibly also equal. I'm not a major fan of this song in general so it's hard for me to judge.)
- club (her voice is lovely, but I'm still not sure about melody's arrangement - it might be growing on me?)
- a country song (I like the way this one sounds, including the arrangement, but it doesn’t sound country to me)
- la (I do very much like this new version, though I'm not sure if it's better than that on kelsea).
Favourites: - the way I used to (I don't think you could mess up this song for me, it's one of my favourite KB songs)
- love me like a girl
- needy
- half of my hometown
Overall, I'm really happy with this offering. It's not ground-breaking by any means, but I enjoyed it.

Ballerini is truly amazing. The different beats, tempos, and melodies change so much about how the story is told. I think she’s got a good shot at more airtime on country radio with the majority of theses.

Some of the melody changes feel unnecessary, but other than that Ballerini is tremendous and a great companion to Kelsea. The Blessed Madonna found crying in the corner.

This new version was honestly really great. Some of the songs I wouldn't have ever revisited on Kelsea (The Other Girl, The Way I Used To, Love and Hate) are AWESOME on ballerini. I also like "Needy" and the new version of "hole in the bottle" though that one was always fun!

New video for club
I forgot to comment about the ballerini - I appreciate they are trying to breathe new life on this release, and a few of the new mixes really grabbed my attention, usually the ones I didn't enjoy as much on the original version. Having said that and listening to the whole thing from top to bottom I feel this album drags a bit. It's possible it's due to the fact that I overplayed the original and since 2020 feels like 2 decades old now this album sounds really dated to me.
I really enjoyed the new mixes for Hole In The Bottle, Love Me Like A Girl and A Country Song. The rest of them I have no desire to revisit, which is a bit sad. Props to Kelsea though because I seem to be in the minority and I appreciate the effort in making these anyway!

It gave me similar feeling like when I heard Sam Hunt's acoustic album, which made me a fan of his. I will buy this for the acoustic and the other album is a bonus.

I didn't care about Kelsea until I heard clips of ballerini and I picked up the Target version. I basically paid $10.99 for the acoustic version of the album, but the Kelsea disc is cute too! It's like a 2 for 1 special. Her voice really shines on these acoustic versions. I actually thought she couldn't sing before, but I am about to stan. I love how she plays with cadence too.
