"I felt like a stunt double!" says Ballerini. "I had to drive a stick shift, which I've never done before, and that in itself was difficult, but then I had to drive it next to a plane on a runway made of sand."

"I don't really have a thrill seeker in me," says Ballerini, who donned a Lamarque leather jacket and drove a Cobra in the clip. "I enjoy driving fast, but it's also landed me in six car accidents so no, I'm not a thrill seeker."
