Why Kelsea Ballerini Shut Down Her Social Media Comments

Kelsea Ballerini fans have perhaps noticed that the singer has disabled comments on her Instagram account, and that's no accident. As she related on The Bobby Bones Show recently, she put a halt on that particular discourse because she's feeling she needs to put up some personal boundaries.

"I'm super sensitive. And I think that's a good thing," Ballerini explains. "For a long time, I was reading all the comments, and I would obviously love the good ones, but I would find the bad ones and they would just hurt my feelings.

"I didn't want to get to a point where I was not posting and not sharing my life," she adds, "because I really like to be that person that's an oversharer."

Ballerini says she believes others will benefit from her stance, too. "I think it's relatable and girls need to see that," she reflects.

"It's either me not sharing or me sharing and not caring about what people say," Ballerini continues. "And so I just turned them off."

The singer isn't just blowing hot air: At the beginning of the year, Ballerini made a statement that she's determined to put a priority on her personal well being

"My word of 2021 is 'healthy,'" Ballerini wrote on social media at the time. "I want to nurture and focus on my physical, mental and emotional health that all took a bit of a backseat last year (anyone else?) Having a word for the year helps me stay focused and keeps my intentions set while I try to live a full life, stay creative and be productive."
