The 12 of 13 Songs Kelsea Ballerini Got Right

Kelsea Ballerini may be off this week — taking a little mind-clearing vacation with Morgan Evans, per her tweet — but she left us with a something pretty cool.

Namely, her encyclopedic knowledge of pop songs both new and vintage. In a lyric challenge issued by Seventeen, Ballerini knew 92 percent of the songs. (Not bad for a pop quiz. 🤣) The only tune that Ballerini didn’t recognize was Justin Bieber’s “Sorry,” from 2015.

These are all of the songs Ballerini had correct:
