It'll soon be Lights! Camera! Action! on Kelsea Ballerini's acting career.

The 'Patterns' star set to make her acting debut on primetime television in an upcoming episode of Doctor Odyssey.

The new ABC medical drama, which takes place on a luxury cruise ship sailing the high seas, tapped the singer for episode six of its first season, called "I Always Cry at Weddings."

Ballerini plays the episode's "bridezilla," who is preparing for her wedding day when all hell breaks loose aboard.

In an interview with Taste of Country, the star detailed a little bit of what she had to do for the role, explaining, "I did not have to kiss anyone. But I did have to scream, cry and throw up, like literally, all of it."

Already, she seems to be anticipating flack from viewers. "Everyone that hates me – which is a growing number – is gonna really love that one," she teased, adding "They're gonna make a gif of me just yacking and be like, 'Yeah, that's what happens when I listen to your music.'"

Whether or not her music will be involved in the coming episode has yet to be revealed, but fans will have to tune in to get an idea of her acting chops.

The episode of Doctor Odyssey is set to air this Thursday (Nov. 7 ) at 9 p.m. Eastern on ABC.

This won't be the last time Ballerini graces our TV screens. The artist is slated to be a coach on the long-running singing competition show, The Voice, in the spring of 2025. She will take her place alongside a panel made up of red chair veterans Adam Levine, John Legend and Michael Bublé.
