Kelsea Ballerini can endure pain to look glamorous, and that’s what she did at the 2026 Grammys.
In one Cosmopolitan photo diary, she shed light on her Grammy look, which was clearly one of the best looks of the night.
Alongside a close-up of the sleek style, she wrote: “I actually had to take Advil for my head because it was a SNATCH.”
Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, the maestro behind the slick updo, revealed that he took inspiration for the style from her green and gold beaded Etro halter dress.
Sharing a photo of the hairstyle, he wrote: “Torn and sculpted. I took inspiration from the pattern in the dress and brought it to the hair.”
In the photo diary, Ballerini also said her dress featured a sweet tribute to her late dog, with a patch sewn into it.
“This was a surprise to the designers and my stylists during our last fitting,” said the Miss me more singer. “I lost my soul dog, Dibs, a few weeks ago, and having him close to my heart for a night made it feel more sentimental. A beautiful reminder that he is always with me.”
On the Grammys red carpet, Ballerini also spoke about her split and patch-up with Outer Banks star Chase Stokes.
“I’ve always been a chronic oversharer and I think I’m the boss for the first time at 32,” Kelsea Ballerini said in an interview on E! Live. “I think maybe my life will be my life for a while. It feels good.”
