WATCH: Kaylee Bell drops loved-up music video for new song 'Me For Me'

Fresh off performing to 37,000 people at the opening of Christchurch’s brand new One New Zealand Stadium, Kaylee Bell has dropped two new songs, 'Me For Me' and 'Once In A Lifetime'.

Kaylee performed both tracks live for the very first time on opening night. The second track, Once In A Lifetime, was written to capture the feeling of the stadium opening night itself, with a music video filmed live during the show set to be released soon.

“I wanted something to mark the night,” Kaylee said. “Something we can hold onto forever.”

Me For Me was written with fellow Kiwi artist Navvy and Tom Jordan, with Kaylee saying, “It’s basically about finding your person later in life after waiting".

This Sunday, Kaylee will also be inducted into the NZ Gold Guitar Awards Hall of Fame at the Tussock Country Music Festival in Gore. It’s one of the biggest honours in New Zealand country music.

Kaylee said receiving the honour feels extra emotional following the recent loss of Dame Jools Topp, who was recognised this year for her contribution to Kiwi country music.

“There are so many incredible female artists who have come before me and paved the way,” Kaylee said. “I hope to honour their legacy by continuing to lead the charge.”

Kaylee will head back to Nashville for CMA Fest, where she’ll perform and speak on a special panel about moving overseas to chase the dream.
