Country artist Kelsea Ballerini has had a big year. She went on her own headline tour — aptly titled (The First Time) tour, performed with Nick Jonas at the American Country Music Awards, scored a big hit with “Peter Pan,” hung out with her pal Taylor Swift … oh, and got nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy. NBD.

“It’s definitely a great honor,” Kelsea told Teen Vogue about the nod. She’s only had a few days to let the reality of being a Grammy-nominated artist sink in, but she says that “I did make my mom a promise that if I ever went to the Grammys, she'd be my date,” so she’s got her red carpet partner locked down.

To celebrate, Teen Vogue is premiering Kelsea’s new music video for “Yeah Boy,” a flashy, poppy clip that perfectly matches the upbeat hit song that’s rising up the country charts.

The video has some serious *TRL *-era pop star vibes. “I definitely love pushing boundaries and I've always loved strong female artists in every genre, and Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Simpson are some of my favorites,” Kelsea said of the '00s icons. “I probably picked up some of their performance tendencies that I put in my live show and in this video.”

The video is bright, sparkly, and fun, and it features dancers, which is something country videos don’t often do. “We wanted the video to be a lot like the tour, and mimic all the bright lights and colors and outfits,” Kelsea said. “I wanted to incorporate some dancers into this video because I've always loved dance; I feel like this song is perfect for that because it's very bouncy and fun.” She’s not wrong; “Yeah Boy” has been getting tons of airplay on Top 40 country radio, much like her previous singles.

Kelsea’s got big things on the horizon, too. What’s next for her? She’ll hit the road as part of Thomas Rhett’s Home Team tour and attend the Grammys — with mom, of course. Kelsea wouldn’t spill any beans about her friend Taylor’s new music, but she did share that she’s at work on a new album of her own. (Will it be country? Pop? Both? We’re not sure!) This year was a big one for Kelsea, and it looks like 2017 will be just as eventful.
