Kelsea Ballerini began the new year with a fresh mindset.

凯尔西·芭莱莉妮以全新的心态开始了新的一年。

At the ASCAP Grammy Brunch on Friday, the country music star, 30, shared with PEOPLE why she's stopped to "appreciate" life.

在周五举行的ASCAP格莱美早午餐上，这位30岁的乡村音乐明星向《人物》杂志分享了她停下来“欣赏”生活的原因。

"I think I have this problem where I can never look around. I keep looking up, and I am trying to find a healthy balance of that because there's so much more that I want to do in so many areas. But I do feel like I've gotten to take a beat and appreciate what the last couple of years have brought into my life," she said.

“我想我有个问题，就是我永远无法环顾四周。我一直在向上看，我试图找到一个健康的平衡，因为我在很多领域都有很多事情要做。但我确实觉得我应该放松一下，感谢过去几年给我的生活带来的一切。”

The process has benefited Ballerini in many ways.

这个过程在很多方面使芭蕾舞团受益。

"I think it's really encouraged me to stay diligent in my songwriting and protect the honesty that I found in [Rolling Up the] Welcome Mat moving forward," said Ballerini. "And that's the whole season I'm in right now is figuring what that sounds like next."

“我认为这真的鼓励了我继续勤奋地创作歌曲，并保护我在《卷起欢迎地毯》中找到的诚实，”芭莱莉妮说。“我现在整个赛季都在想接下来会发生什么。”

One of the new things that has come into her life is her boyfriend, Chase Stokes. The two sparked dating rumors in early January 2023 and made their red carpet debut at the 2023 CMT Awards that April.

进入她生活的新事物之一是她的男朋友蔡斯·斯托克斯。两人于2023年1月初传出约会传闻，并于同年4月在2023年CMT颁奖典礼上首次亮相红毯。

Ballerini told PEOPLE that the Outer Banks star, 31, is supporting her "from a distance" during Grammy weekend due to having to go "back to filming."

芭莱莉妮告诉《人物》杂志，这位31岁的《外滩》明星在格莱美周末期间“远距离”支持她，因为她必须“回去拍戏”。

At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Ballerini is up for best country album for Rolling Up the Welcome Mat. The 6-track EP was released four months after her divorce from Morgan Evans was finalized in November 2022. The project was one of her most personal to date.

在2024年的格莱美颁奖典礼上，芭莱莉妮凭借《Rolling up the Welcome Mat》获得了最佳乡村专辑奖。这张六首单曲的EP是在她与摩根·埃文斯于2022年11月离婚四个月后发行的。这是她迄今为止最个人化的作品之一。

"I made it very selfishly … quite literally emotionally because I had to," she told PEOPLE in January. "I put my dog's name and addresses and receipts, and all these things, and it connected more than anything else I've ever put out."

她在1月份接受《人物》杂志采访时说:“我非常自私地拍了这张照片，实际上是出于情感上的考虑，因为我必须这么做。”“我把我的狗狗的名字、地址、收据和所有这些东西都放进去，它比我放出来的任何东西都更有联系。”

Taking a more vulnerable approach to her music is what Ballerini plans to continue.

在她的音乐中采取一种更脆弱的方式是Ballerini计划继续进行的。

“The thing that I learned that I just really hold closely now is there's no amount of truth telling or detail that will make it not relatable," she told PEOPLE. "I think for a long time, even though I was writing about my life and my emotions, I would try to round the edges, because I'm like, ‘I want everyone to feel themselves in this,’ or see themselves in the story.”

她在接受《人物》杂志采访时表示:“我学到的一件事是，无论讲多少真相或细节，都能让人产生共鸣。”“在很长一段时间里，我认为，即使我写的是我的生活和情感，我也会尽量避免棱角分明，因为我想，‘我希望每个人都能在这个故事中感受到自己’，或者在故事中看到自己。”
