<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The video for <strong>“HEARTFIRST”</strong> stands out as her most stunning to date. It opens on <strong>Kelsea</strong> as she walks down a sunny city street before bumping into a handsome would-be suitor nineties romcom-style. We jump into her ultimate fantasy of <em>“what could happen”</em> through a series of dazzling vignettes, including on a beachside rollercoaster, gambling at a casino in the sky, strumming an acoustic guitar in the desert, and climbing a ladder through the clouds to heaven. The clip boasts stylish and striking glam that’s just as eye-popping as its big screen-worthy visual effects.</p>
