Maren Morris and Kelsea Ballerini Just Broke the Internet After Teasing a Collaboration
Maren Morris and Kelsea Ballerini are no strangers to the spotlight; we all pretty much know this. But their latest TikToks have everyone asking, is something big coming?
Grammy winner Morris and Grammy nominee Ballerini teamed up for not just one but two cinematic TikToks that have fans dissecting every second for clues. The videos are equal parts fashion-forward, cryptic, and, if you ask the internet, very collaboration-coded.
Their first post, which features the duo dramatically strutting down a garden path to Charli XCX and Lorde’s “Girl, So Confusing,” isn’t just some casual content. It’s a moment of girl power and fearlessness. Both stars lock eyes before confidently walking side by side, sunglasses on, serving energy that screams “album teaser” more than “just a casual BFF hangout.”
Fans immediately took to the comments, begging for answers. One user wrote, “THE HEROES WE NEED TO SAVE COUNTRY MUSIC,” while another added, “Add Kacey Musgraves, and this vid would have the three country queens that REVIVED me from an abusive relationship.”
Which, honestly, we agree! Someone call Musgraves’ agent ASAP!
Standing on Business & Maybe on a New Era?
The second TikTok took things even further, to say the least! Set to Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?,” the video shows the country stars holding cocktails in what feels like a cross between a Vogue shoot and a soft launch of a duo act. The caption? Ballerini simply wrote, “We’re standing on business” and tagged Morris. That’s it. That’s the post, and it was enough to send the internet spiraling once again, asking them what it meant.
Coordinated, sleek, and deliberately styled, this wasn’t your average “cheers” moment. So naturally, now, fans are convinced these TikToks are more than just viral bait. They’re breadcrumbs. One commenter quipped, “This is the collab we are all waiting for.”
Maren Morris & Kelsea Ballerini: Friendly Genre Rebels
Morris, 35, has long been one of country music’s most innovative forces that has touched boundaries thanks to her strong opinion and dynamic lyrics. From her breakout hit “The Middle” to genre-blurring albums like “Humble Quest” and her recent project “D R E A M S I C L E,” Morris has carved a lane that blends country, pop, and R&B. She is seamlessly and unapologetically herself, which is why fans have followed her throughout her career.
Ballerini, 31, burst onto the scene with “Love Me Like You Mean It” in 2014 and hasn’t slowed down since. With multiple No. 1s, a spot in the Grand Ole Opry, and a Grammy-nominated discography that includes her recent deluxe album “Subject to Change: Patterns,” Ballerini has become one of the most influential voices in modern country.
Though they were once nominated against each other for Best New Artist at the 2017 Grammys, the two have only shown each other love and respect throughout the years.
So, are they actually collaborating?
Well, we don’t really know; unfortunately, nothing is confirmed yet. But, that being said, nothing is denied either. And when artists as strategic and stylish as these two powerhouses do it, fans know better than to chalk it up to coincidence.
Between the cryptic captions, the carefully curated visuals, and both albums leaning heavily on their relationships, the timing couldn’t be more perfect for a joint track. Whatever’s coming, fans are more than ready. All we know is that if this indeed is a collaboration, we need the Grammys to listen very closely!
