Kelsea Ballerini is the cover star for Elle‘s Women in Music digital cover and she celebrated the issue at an intimate dinner this week!

The 31-year-old country singer joined some rising stars in the music world, like Blu DeTiger and Charlotte Lawrence, at Elle & Fendi‘s dinner party on Wednesday (May 28) at Chez Margaux in new York City.

Among the other stars in attendance included Grace VanderWaal, Dora Jar, Tessa Brooks, Rumer Willis, and DJ Vashtie Kola.

Kelsea performed a cover of the song “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac during the party.

In the magazine, Kelsea opened up about finding her voice and choosing authenticity over appeasement. She said, “I had to shift my mindset from wanting to speak to a wide audience to wanting to speak to my audience. I had to get out of my head, because I’m such a chronic people pleaser: Any element of turmoil or people being mad at me feels crippling to me. And so I never really was loud about anything for a really long time, because I just had to get my footing. And then I was like, ‘At the end of the day, I want the people who listen to my music to know what I stand for and hopefully align with it.’”

FYI: All of the women are wearing Fendi.
