As this year’s Rising Star, country newcomer Kelsea Ballerini shares the songs that have her totally amped for Billboard‘s Women In Music event.
The best way to get ready for a show (in my opinion) is to have an EPIC music playlist. Here’s a list of my favorite tracks that help me get pumped before a show (especially this year’s Women in Music)! Hope you enjoy!
1. Maroon 5, “In Your Pocket“: It’s upbeat, and Adam Levine’s voice on anything is $$$.

2. Sia, “Big Girls Cry“: Although it’s not super uptempo, she belts it out and makes you feel it.
3. Nick Jonas, “Chains (Just a Gent Remix)“: I love the original of this song, but the beat drop in the remix is sick.
