Country music singer-songwriter Kelsea Ballerini unveiled her official “I Hate Love Songs” music video on the Nissan Stadium big screen Friday night during CMA Fest in Nashville. The Tennessee native’s playful new video was directed by Traci Goudie and portrays her lighthearted, yet sassy personality as she teases the clichés of romance.
“I really wanted to do something kinda funny. I feel like we’ve done a lot of the, like, story videos and the super glam videos, but what I loved about the treatment was it took lines from the song and just kinda made it real life,” Ballerini explained to iHeartRadio.
Ballerini’s real-life husband, Morgan Evans, even makes a little cameo at the end of the clip. Enjoy the music video below!
Fans can soon catch the songstress on the road with Keith Urban‘s Graffiti U World Tour. Check out her schedule here!
“I Hate Love Songs” Lyrics
I hate Shakespeare and Gosling and cakes with white frosting
Two names in a heart-shaped tattoo
I think cupid is stupid and violets are purple not blue
I hate catching bouquets, the honeymoon phase
And letterman jackets don’t fit
Your eyes can’t hold stars and you’d die if your heart really skipped
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
Yeah, I really do (I really do)
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
But I love you
I hate pink hearts with glitter and Valentine’s dinner
And roses just die in a week
We were drunk when we met so we don’t know our anniversary, woops
Oh and I’m far too vain to kiss in the rain
The clouds, they aren’t numbered to nine
And you make me feel something but it sure as hell ain’t butterflies
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
Yeah, I really do (I really do)
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
But I love you, ooh yeah
Oh oh
I really do
And I’ll always love you but I don’t have to sing it
“For worse or for better” don’t rhyme
They say I got the right one so now I should write one
But I’d rather just show you tonight
‘Cause I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
Yeah, I really do (I really do)
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
But I love you, yeah
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
The old and the new (I really do)
I hate love songs
But I love you
