Kelsea Ballerini took her talents to NYC on Aug. 1 to perform her current single, “I Hate Love Songs,” on Late Night With Seth Meyers.

“I Hate Love Songs,” which is No. 33 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart after 22 weeks, is Kelsea’s second single from her sophomore album, Unapologetically. Co-penned by Kelsea, Shane McAnally and Trevor Rosen, the tune is a tongue-and-cheek ode to modern-day romance.

“It’s sweet and sassy and I hope you love it as much as I do,” said Kelsea.
