The Chainsmokers and country music’s Kelsea Ballerini have recently followed in the footsteps of Zedd and Maren Morris in a radio-ready crossover collaboration. The track, which landed on the iTunes Top 5 charts the first day of it’s release, is a seamless blend of country and pop vocals between Ballerini and Alex Pall, with Andrew Taggert on the drums.
Now the three have debuted their pop-forward ballad, titled “This Feeling,” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The guest appearance marks the very first time the song has been performed in front of a live audience as well as The Chainsmokers’ first time joining Ellen on her heavily watched talkshow.
The song will be included in The Chainsmokers’ forthcoming LP, Sick Boy, which is an outgrowth of their Sick Boy EP, with new releases arriving every few weeks or so.
