Kelsea Ballerini is preparing to release her fifth studio album, called “Patterns,” this fall and people expecting a “happy-go-lucky,” lovey-dovey album from an artist in a new relationship may find more complication.

Singer-songwriter Victoria Monét has won best new artist at the 66th annual Grammy Awards.

Victoria Monét and Coco Jones brought smooth R&B and studied choreography, Noah Kahan and Gracie Abrams — friends up for the same Grammy — dueted their introspective folk, and Jelly Roll brought out Lainey Wilson.

This year has been good to Gracie Abrams.

Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” is about New England — a topic the Vermont native says he could write about for the rest of his life — but it’s also largely about in-between spaces.
