Thank you for having a voice that helps mend my troubles. The song I want to recognize most is \u2018Homecoming Queen.\u2019 This song reads my mind. I\u2019ve been feeling really sad because people have said some nasty things that I try not to acknowledge.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kelsea responded directly to Ellie on Instagram because she said she couldn&#8217;t find her address to write back. The singer wrote,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMiddle school was really hard for me too. It\u2019s a time when everyone is starting to discover who they are, it\u2019s awkward and emotional, and unfortunately, the way some people feel like they have it together is by tearing other people apart. Try your best to breathe through it and let it roll off of you, and please please remember that it\u2019s not your weight to carry. It will make you stronger and full of grace. I also promise that middle school will be over before you know it. Hang in there, my little homecoming queen. Sending you so much love and light . . .&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"insta-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7ACqaclq6o\/embed\/captioned\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display:inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height:0;\"  class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kelsea Ballerini offered some sage advice to a pre-teen fan who wrote her a letter about how her music is helping her deal with bullying at school.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":6898,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[1120,1445,151,65],"class_list":["post-6879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-advice","tag-homecoming-queen","tag-instagram","tag-kelsea-ballerini"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-14 05:06:32","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2020\/01\/kelsea-ballerini-offers-advice-to-young-fan\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6879"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6879\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6897,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6879\/revisions\/6897"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
