Looks like "New Year, New You" came early for Kelsea Ballerini! The country music super star released a new book of poetry in November, but it's another debut that has everyone talking: her dramatic new hair style! Gone are her signature golden blonde locks. She took to Instagram to show off her new caramel color, which, she says, is back to her natural hue. Of course, Kelsea was gorgeous as a blonde, but we have to say, we love this look!

In this season of change, Kelsea has been busy promoting body positivity through her campaign with Aerie, touring with The Jonas Brothers, and sharing her powerful new book of poetry, Feel Your Way Through. In her spare time, she's been cleaning up at this year's CMAs by winning her first two awards. It sounds like she took some time out of her packed schedule for a little self-care at the salon.

She captioned the brand-new selfie with, "au naturale 🤎 thanks for letting my blonde hibernate for the winter @marissamartinhair."

Fans and fellow country stars jumped in the comments section to attack her with emojis and show the love. Trisha Yearwood said, "I love it!!" and Hillary Scott wrote, "GORG❤️." One fan commented, "WELCOME TO THE BRUNETTE CLUB. HAPPY TO HAVE YOUUUUU 🔥🔥🔥" and another chimed in, "Literally love this. Obsessed." This fan could not contain herself: "🔥 Girl that hair color and dang girl work it simply gorgeous."

Kelsea's blonde hair was on full display over Thanksgiving before she made the change. She posted several new selfies and videos that show just how dramatic the new look is!
