KELSEA BALLERINI has earned yet another round of award show accolades, continuing a meteoric rise to country stardom as she scores FOUR nominations for the upcoming RADIO DISNEY MUSIC AWARDS.

Nominated in the categories of The Buzz – Breakout Artist of the Year, XOXO – Best Crush Song (for “Yeah Boy”), Play It Again! – Radio Disney Country Favorite Song (for “Peter Pan”), and The Bestest! – Radio Disney Country Favorite Artist, Ballerini will also CO-HOST the show, which takes place in Los Angeles on April 29 and airs the following night (4/30) at 7 p.m. ET on the Disney Channel and other Disney platforms.

Fan voting is open now until April 9 at Disney.com/RDMA, the Radio Disney App, Google OneBox, and via Radio Disney’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

Ballerini was also nominated for Best New Artist at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards and won the show’s Best New Country Artist trophy on March 5. Likewise, she’s up for two honors at the 52nd ACM Awards – Female Vocalist of the Year and Video of the Year (for “Peter Pan”). The 52nd ACM Awards air live from Las Vegas April 2 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Meanwhile, Ballerini’s first show in the United Kingdom (5/11) has completely SOLD OUT. Showing incredible international appeal, tickets to her concert at London’s Under the Bridge were eagerly snatched up under an hour of going on sale. The singer-songwriter is currently touring with Thomas Rhett on his HOME TEAM TOUR, and will join Lady Antebellum’s YOU LOOK GOOD WORLD TOUR when it kicks off May 26 in Bakersfield, California.

Today (3/6), Ballerini appears as a guest co-host on CBS’ The Talk at 2 p.m. ET (1 p.m. PT/CT), on hand to swap stories and share laughs with hosts Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Tyler and Sheryl Underwood.

“Yeah Boy,” the latest single from her debut album, THE FIRST TIME, has launched into the Top 10 at Country radio this week. Her first three, “Love Me Like You Mean It,” “Dibs” and “Peter Pan,” all reached #1, a history-making feat for females in country music.

An exclusive 10-week digital series, SOUTHERN HALO, will launch today across Radio Disney Country digital platforms.  Fans of the cutting-edge Country sibling trio Southern Halo will be able to view Episode 1 today on the Radio Disney app, RadioDisneyCountry.com, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook pages.  A new episode will be available every Monday at 12 noon PDT.  Phil Guerini, Vice President, Music Strategy, Disney Channels Worldwide and General Manager, Radio Disney Networks said, "Having been early supporters of their music, we're excited for our audiences to get to know this talented group even better and are glad to have them as part of the Radio Disney Country family."  The series was produced by Nashville's Artist Integration.

"SOUTHERN HALO is sort of like a back-stage pass to our lives," notes the group's spokesperson, Natalia.  "Episode 1 covers everything surrounding a radio promo trip to Nashville we made in support of our debut single, 'Little White Dress.'  It includes everything from discussions on what to pack, to hair and makeup, the travel, clips of interviews we did with various media outlets, and even our appearance at the Radio Disney Country Stage at CMA Fest Fan Fair X.  The whole series is an in-depth look at who we are as individuals, sisters, musicians and music fans."

With their newest single, "Rewind," currently rising on the MusicRow CountryBreakout™ Chart (#64) and a well-received debut performance at CMA Music Festival last month, Southern Halo is bringing a new energy - and a new sound to Country.
