It’s been a whirlwind two years for Kelsea, who burst on the scene with her first hit, “Love Me Like You Mean It,” in 2015 and quickly rose to become one of the most powerful women in country music. Along the way, she’s picked up a whole bunch of famous friends, most notably, Taylor Swift, 27, who she’s also named as a career influence. “To have people like Taylor who really blazed the trail for any new artist ever to come into country music…she is the reason it’s happening…to be able to ask her questions and ask her opinion and all that, but also look to her and see how she’s done it and done it so well — she’s just classy,” the 23-year-old gushed. “It’s very important to have those people to look up to. Having role models [in country music] in general is so important, but they’re my friends, too.”
"拥有像Taylor这样为新人打开通往乡村音乐的人...她是让这些事情发生的功臣...既能够向她询问问题、建议等等,还能目睹她是如何完成,如何出色完成的 - 她太给力了。拥有自己敬重的人,这很重要。一般来说(在乡村届)拥有自己的榜样十分重要,但他们也都是我的朋友咯。"
