Kelsea Ballerini Writing Forearm Tattoo

BACKGRID

Kelsea Ballerini has a tattoo on her left forearm with the line “how sweet the sound” from the song “Amazing Grace.” It’s special to her because it was the first solo that she ever sang in her church choir. Singing was always a big part of her life, but she never thought that she wanted to make it a career until she discovered her passion for songwriting at age 13. She told CMT:

“I grew up loving music, like, loving it. I was involved in church choir, leading worship and all the choirs in my school — even glee club. I always loved performing and music.”

She got the tattoo in June 2014 and posted a picture on instagram captioning it:

“First song I learned, first solo I sang, and now first tattoo. #amazinggrace”
