Kelsea Ballerini Shines on MTV VMAs Debut and 30th Birthday Bash
In a dazzling double celebration, Kelsea Ballerini made her MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) debut while celebrating her 30th birthday on September 12. The country sensation graced the Prudential Center stage, belting out her hit “Penthouse” from the Rolling Up the Welcome Mat EP. Bedecked in a stunning white column dress, she was accompanied by a mesmerizing orchestra.
During the performance, Ballerini presented the “healed” version of her song lyrics and pulled off a quick outfit change, revealing a chic black mini-dress. The crowd was left in awe.
Accompanying Ballerini on the VMAs red carpet was her boyfriend, Chase Stokes. The adorable couple not only rocked the red carpet but also sealed the moment with a sweet kiss. Their coordinated outfits in fiery red drew attention, and Stokes jokingly called it “serendipitous” during the MTV pre-show.

Before taking the stage, Ballerini shared her excitement on Instagram, calling it a “whole ass slay” to make her VMA debut on her birthday.
