Kelsea Ballerini<\/a> and Maren Morris<\/a> are back in each other\u2019s worlds \u2014 and this time, it\u2019s more than TikTok and tequila.<\/p>\n The powerhouse performers recently lit up social media with silly, wink-wink videos together, sparking all kinds of duet rumors.<\/p>\n Ballerini has now confirmed they\u2019ve officially teamed up<\/a> in the writing room \u2014 and it sounds like they had way more fun than work.<\/p>\n \u201cMaren and I haven’t had the chance to catch up in years, and we’ve both had so much life that’s happened,\u201d the “Miss Me More” singer tells People<\/em><\/a>, adding that she\u2019s always admired Morris\u2019 musicality and songwriting.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I was like, \u2018Come on down to Charleston. Let\u2019s write,\u2019\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n And just like that, the stars aligned. The duo \u2014 joined by producer Alysa Vanderheym \u2014 spent three days writing, enjoying dinners, and simply soaking up each other’s company<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was not work,\u201d Ballerini says. \u201cIt was much more play than work.\u201d<\/p>\n In early July, Morris posted a TikTok<\/a> of the two strutting toward the camera to Lorde\u2019s verse from Charli XCX\u2019s “Girl, so confusing” \u2014 a track inspired by the messy and mysterious sides of female friendships in the spotlight.<\/p>\n Then came Ballerini\u2019s TikTok: she and the “My Church” singer sipping drinks, cool and collected, set to a Justin Bieber track.<\/p>\n The caption? \u201cWe\u2019re standing on business.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWere you bonesided or were you just boned?\u201d Morris cheekily commented<\/a>, referencing Ballerini\u2019s 2023 hit “Blindsided” and her own 2019 anthem “The Bones.”<\/p>\n Of course, the internet did what the internet does, freaking out over a possible upcoming duet.<\/p>\n Both artists are in very different seasons of life \u2014 maybe that\u2019s why this connection hits even harder now.<\/p>\n Morris released Dreamsicle<\/em> in May, her first major project since stepping away from country radio<\/a> and redefining her sound.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong><\/em> 19 Country Songs for Your Girls Night Out Playlist<\/a><\/p>\n Ballerini, who dropped a deluxe version of Subject to Change<\/em> called Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good)<\/em> last year, has also leaned into her next chapter, personally and musically.<\/p>\n While she\u2019s currently prepping for shows in Australia and recently led Pantene\u2019s \u201cCountry Fried Hair\u201d campaign, Ballerini admits she\u2019s learning to slow down.<\/p>\nWhat Are They Up To?<\/h3>\n
