Kelsea Ballerini said on TikTok this week that Madelyn Cline is “so hot” as her “Outer Banks” character Sarah Cameron, even though Cline is the ex-girlfriend of Ballerini’s current romantic partner, the actor Chase Stokes.
It’s a way to show that there’s water under the bridge. Because Ballerini’s fan base for “Outer Banks,” the Netflix teen drama that just returned for its fourth season, clearly far outweighs any awkwardness the pop star co-stars in. hometown may feel when praising her boyfriend’s ex.
Be honest: do you feel comfortable calling your current lover “hot”?
Ballerini made the seemingly winking comment in a video she shared to TikTok on Thursday (October 10), showing her followers her love for “Outer Banks” using a TikTok filter popular allows users to rate the show’s characters numerically, from 10 to 1.

“So hot, so hot,” Ballerini said of Cline, ranking her No. 3 on the list. “We love Sarah Cameron and Madelyn Cline in this house.”
But before continuing, Ballerini clarified that she’s not ranking the “Outer Banks” characters in any particular order — despite the TikTok filter’s goal.
“First of all, the ranking system, it wouldn’t work for me at all on this issue,” she explained. “It won’t serve me here. This is just the first filter I found and I wanted to post about the show. So, okay, peace and love.”
