In the new People cover story, Kelsea Ballerini expressed gratitude for the support of women in the music community who have championed her and helped her on the road to success. Ballerini recalls an early act of kindness from Lady A’s Hillary Scott that made a significant impact on her. “Hillary really became a mentor for me early on, and I couldn’t afford a dress to an award show in Nashville,” Ballerini shared. “She let me come over and raid her closet, and she gave me a hand-me-down dress that she had worn.
