The country star had a restorative year, and she took to Instagram to reflect on 2023.

She posted a black and white photo of herself sipping coffee near the Eiffel Tower, “Three hundred and sixty-five days,” Ballerini began in her Instagram post. “Shouting on stages and them finally shouting back. Letting skin replace sequins. Sleepless nights rendering new dreams, in a little new old house with defiantly pink walls.”

In her lengthy caption, Ballerini wrote about getting advice from a chef to “honor the taste of the ocean” as well as “learning the damn difference” between “stretching for height, not contorting for approval.”
