Kelsea Ballerini can endure pain to look glamorous, and that’s what she did at the 2026 Grammys.
In a Cosmopolitan photo diary, she shed light on her Grammys look, which was clearly one of the best looks of the night.
Alongside a close up snap of the slicked-back style, she wrote, “I did indeed have to take Advil for my head because it was a SNATCH.”
Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, who was the maestro behind the slick updo, revealed that he took inspiration from her green and gold beaded Etro halter dress for the hairstyle.
Sharing a photo of the hairstyle, he wrote, “Snatched and sculpted. I took inspiration from the pattern in the dress and took it right up to the hair.”
In the photo diary, Ballerini also said that her dress contained a sweet tribute to her late dog with a patch sewn inside.
“This was a surprise touch from the designers and my stylists at our final 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 the night made it feel more sentimental. A beautiful reminder he’s always with me.”
At the Grammys red carpet, Ballerini also talked about her brekup and patchup with Outer Banks star Chase Stokes.
“I’ve always been a chronic oversharer and I think for the first time, at 32 I’m reigning it in,” Kelsea Ballerini said in an interview on E! Live. “I think my life might just be my life for a while. It feels right.”
