According to reports, Doctor Odyssey will focus on how doctors and nurses deal with the pressures of working on a cruise ship. Juggling careers and personal lives, the show promises to be packed with heartstopping moments and drama. For fans of Ballerini, they instantly noticed the singer in the trailer. Although fans were excited to see her on the show, she promised her role was nothing more than a “guest star.” In the clip, Ballerini watched as Dr. Max, played by Joshua Jackson, looked over her.
Besides Ballerini, the show teased fans with other guest appearances by stars like John Stamos, Chord Overstreet, and Gina Gershon. With the trailer hitting the internet just a day ago, the video already brought in more than 1.3 million views.
Kelsea Ballerini Excited To Coach On ‘The Voice’
Outside of Doctor Odyssey, Ballerini also prepared to appear in the new season of The Voice. With the new season not far off, she said, “I’m very excited. It’s such a new thing for me. It’s very outside of my comfort zone and I am really nervous, but really excited because its a whole new world and opportunity and I feel like I’ve learned so much over the last 10 years and I’m really excited to be able to hopefully help out. I start that next month.”
As for her career in music, Ballerini discussed how some things have changed over the years. One of those changes happened when she lost her voice from enjoying tequila shots before taking the stage. “This last week I lost my voice. I had to get a ton of shots and be on vocal rest the last two days. Hopefully tonight is good. I am really careful about it now. It’s very much like tea with honey before shows now. It’s not sexy at all.”
