KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A new song and video from country superstar and Knoxville native Kelsea Ballerini dropped while you asleep Thursday night.
She released the new single "Homecoming Queen?" at midnight.
The video was slated to air on MTV Friday morning.
Ballerini said she's so grateful for the response already and that people had been sending her their favorite lyrics all night.
In March, Ballerini received one of the highest honors a country artist can receive: She's been invited to join the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
The Knoxville native joined the legendary ranks that include Dolly Parton, Charlie Daniels, Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton, and many others.
