Kelsea Ballerini has her dream home, thanks to Kacey Musgraves!
During a recent appearance on Call her dad podcast, Ballerini, 30, opened up to host Alex Cooper about finally being able to move into the 1920s cottage she first tried to buy in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I tried to buy this house and I said, ‘I want a house where I feel like I don’t have to be an adult yet.’ And I saw this house on Zillow, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is my house.’ I tried to buy it. It didn’t work out. Another wonderful, amazing artist bought it,” she explained.

“She was going through a divorce at the time,” Ballerini continues of the performer who got the keys instead. Meanwhile, “I moved 0.9 miles down the road to a house I never loved, but I had to move out of the penthouse,” she said.
Not long after, Ballerini found herself at the same difficult time in her own life and was unexpectedly helped by the person who picked up her dream home, she said: “When I got divorced, I texted Kacey, who bought this house.”
The “Penthouse” singer asked Musgraves, 35, to let her know if he ever wanted to move out of the property and received a text “within about a month” asking if he was serious.

“We didn’t use real estate agents. It was woman to woman. And she said, ‘This was my house of healing.’ It makes me a little emo,” Ballerini recalls. Musgraves and musician husband Ruston Kelly filed for divorce in July 2020 after nearly three years of marriage.
Ballerini was married to fellow country artist Morgan Evans for nearly five years before filing for divorce in August 2022. The two finalized their divorce that November.
In January, Ballerini and actor Chase Stokes sparked dating rumors after he posted a cute photo of them at a football game. After being spotted together multiple times, the two went public with their romance by making their red carpet debut at the 2023 CMT Awards.

In a cover interview with Stylecaster in July, Ballerini opened up about why she and Stokes, 31, decided to go public with their romance.
“What we decided, each for himself, is when you’re with someone you feel safe with and proud of, why not share it? He is also a Virgo, we are very similar; we’re both labrador retrievers in human form,” she said. “It doesn’t take much conversation to get us on the same page, which is nice. It’s been half a year and it’s been great.”
