KELSEA BALLERINI
30 Old soul
By Shania Twain
Kelsea Ballerini and I first met at a country-music awards show. I remember thinking back then how talented she was as a songwriter at such a young age. She's an old soul in many ways. As a veteran songwriter, I'm always looking for authenticity, and I'm really inspired by clever songwriting-songwriting that is not only thought-provoking and meaningful but most of all original. Kelsea writes with all those qualities. She isn't afraid to be vulnerable and really brave with her songwriting. She's also a great friend. We have such a special relationship that is just so real, and that can be rare in our industry. I watch her work incredibly hard and challenge herself, but she also has fun, and that is wonderful to see. At this year's CMT Awards, she performed with a full troupe of drag queens as her backup dancers, which was fabulous. She has a powerful sense of self in those moments: she knows exactly where her heart is, and she always leads with love and inclusivity.

COREY HAWKINS
34. Transformative joy
By Suzan-Lori Parks
I've been a fan of Corey Hawkins for forever, so I was thrilled when he agreed to play Lincoln in my play Topdog/Underdog last year. Some actors get up onstage and it's OK to be just OK. But that's not an option for Corey.
