Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan confirm it is okay to cry. Ballerini announced her new song with the “Stick Season” singer will be released on Friday (June 28).
The duet, “Cowboys Cry Too,” marks a new chapter for Kelsea Ballerini. She recently performed with Noah Kahan at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards where the two sang a rendition of Ballerini’s “Mountain With A View” and Kahan’s “Stick Season.”

Ballerini said she believed “Cowboys Cry Too” would be “more impactful” if there was a male counterpart who could “rip open his chest and bare his soul and tell his side of that story.”
The country star sat down with with Kelleigh Bannen on Today’s Country Radio on Apple Music Country and said Kahan would be a perfect fit.
“I’m such a fan of Noah, that whole record,” she said. “He is so willing to just be so open and vulnerable.”
The “Penthouse” performer continued: “And so I texted it to him and he was like, ‘I love writing about this concept of men being vulnerable and not being scared to go there. And can I just have a couple weeks on the road to work on a verse?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely.'”
The track comes out tomorrow so luckily fans won’t have to wait long.
