Late on Wednesday night (May 20), this was the tweet that started all the tweets: \u201cMildly drunk (hole in the bottle) and bored in the house and I\u2019m in the house bored. Mini q&a?! GO,\u201d Kelsea Ballerini wrote on Twitter at about 10:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Mildly drunk (hole in the bottle \u200d\u2640\ufe0f) and bored in the house and I\u2019m in the house bored. Mini q&a?! GO!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Kelsea Ballerini (@KelseaBallerini) May 21, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And in came the questions. From her friends, her hubby, and mostly her fans. With her inhibitions a little lower \u2014 thanks, tequila! \u2014 Ballerini was all in her feels as she answered everyone with delightful candor.<\/p>\n


One thing you would tell your high school graduating 17-year-old self if you could.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ceremony isn\u2019t \u201cthe\u201d moment. Sure, it\u2019s the one on the wall. But \u201cthe\u201d moment is the one with yourself when you actually realize that you did it. And held yourself accountable and got there. It\u2019s powerful.<\/p>\n

Any advice for someone who is dealing with a lot of anxiety during this time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Same. It\u2019s tough, babe. Find people that calm you. Know your hobbies or personal \u201cescapes\u201d to ground you and make you feel steady. Every day I make \u201cto do\u201d lists, even if they\u2019re silly\u2026it helps me stay on track, accountable, and looking forward. Love you.<\/p>\n

How are you doing? Miss you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m ok. Every day is a bit of an emotional roller coaster, honestly. Been really trying to focus on the positive things and stay mentally healthy and creative. But also have grace for the down moments. How are you? How are y\u2019all?<\/p>\n

First thing you\u2019re going to do post quarantine ???<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get my nails done because wooooof and then go hug as many humans as possible. *when safe*<\/p>\n

What has been your favorite movie during quarantine or in general?<\/strong><\/p>\n

KNIVES OUT<\/em>!!! It\u2019s like a murder mystery dinner but in movie form and not too scary.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your fave emoji!?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(White heart), (cowboy hat face), (clinking glasses) are my three most used and I feel like that says a lot.<\/p>\n

The Office<\/em> or Friends<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE OFFICE<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Do you have a go-to hangover cure for when you\u2019re throwin\u2019 em back?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regret.<\/p>\n

How long did it take you to write \u201cHole in the Bottle?\u201d \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/p>\n

We wrote it one night on a writing retreat in Florida. We had written a few songs that day and then went to dinner. And had wine. Then got back and wrote it. Get it? Because there was a hole in the bottle?<\/p>\n

What kind of wine did you put a hole in the bottle in tonight?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tequila.<\/p>\n

Can you Zoom call some fans?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I actually have!! But yes, Insta message me y\u2019all\u2019s weekend zoom hangs and I\u2019ll try to pop into a few.<\/p>\n

Will there still be a tour and a TOUR???<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was a tour, the biggest of my career with my dream lineup, planned for fall. Unfortunately, it couldn\u2019t happen and luckily we didn\u2019t announce before the pandemic. But the second it\u2019s safe, Ill be back.<\/p>\n

What have you been doing to keep busy during quarintine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been writing songs. Alone. And a lot of them. I\u2019m getting back in touch with that part of myself, and it\u2019s been really wonderful and freeing.<\/p>\n

Then Morgan Evans asked his wife his own question via Twitter, even though he was right there with her IRL.<\/p>\n

Why you gotta look so cute there on the couch in your slippers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think the people (people\u2026help me out) want you to get me another bevvy\u2026<\/p>\n
