- $30?
45?
80.
This is not $250.
Can we save this?
(soft music)
Hey, what's up, y'all, it's Kelsea Ballerini.
And we are about to play
an extreme game of Expensive Taste Test.
They're gonna place two items in front of me
and I'm gonna pick which one I think is more expensive.
No, I don't have expensive taste.
But I think I can probably pick
a couple of the better things, like champagne.
(bouncy music)
Five o'clock somewhere, they say.
I went to NAPA recently
and they told me something about
the number of bubbles tells you if it's good or bad,
but I can't remember because I was drinking champagne.
This one has more bubbles.
Smells like grape juice.
There's a difference.
Has a nice little zestiness to it.
That's a very proper word that they use.
Zesty, no.
(sighing)
Okay both are great, I would drink both, as I am.
Does it take this long normally for people to decide?
(ticking)
Okay, wait.
I think this is the expensive one.
(clanking)
- [Host] That one?
- Yeah.
(zinging)
Okay, what?
(clanking)
(bouncy music)
This is my love language, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets.
Just by visuals these look
like they've been fried with a lot of thought.
These look like they were frozen 10 minutes ago.
No judgment, ya know?
(crunching)
Are these from a fast food restaurant?
Can you give me a clue?
Oh, that's good.
Wow.
The breading on this is,
those are more expensive.
(dinging)
I'm the chicken nugget expert, of course I'm correct.
Best chicken nugget, Chick-fil-A.
Most like, maybe I've had a couple glasses of wine
and I'm in need of a carb, McDonald's.
Chicken fries, Wendy's.
But if you want to really have a classy meal
that involves breaded chicken,
O'Charley's chicken platter
with their honey mustard specifically.
I mean.
(kissing)
Can you like put these on the side for me?
- [Host] Yeah.
- Can I like have that?
(bouncy music)
They look eerily similar.
These look like the Cape Cod kettle chips.
(chirping)
They're not giving me any clues.
They're not even moving their faces.
These look like classic Lay's.
(crunching)
Mm, nice and salty.
Fun fact, singers, which I'm one,
a lot of us, actually I don't know
if a lot of us do this, I do this.
You can use potato chips
to coat your throat before you sing,
and it helps you make sure that
you don't get nervous and get a dry throat.
The more ya know.
(crunching)
Mm, m'kay, these are more expensive, and they're better.
And they're Cape Cod and these are Lay's.
(zinging)
I absolutely quit.
(crunching)
(bouncy music)
I'm kind of a water snob.
That's one thing I'm boujee about.
I'm not boujee about much,
but I like to know what I'm putting in my body.
Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, Wendy's.
(beeping)
Tastes literally exactly the same.
No difference.
Water tastes like nothing,
which is why it's so hard to make yourself drink
as much as you're supposed to drink everyday.
You know what I mean?
When you have coffee, juice, matcha wine.
It's like why would you drink this?
This is more expensive.
(dinging)
Ah, ding, ding, ding, she's hydrated.
What's this, tap?
- [Host] It's just water from a sink, tap.
- New York has really good tap water.
(beeping)
(bouncy music)
Uh, there's two here.
- [Host] The collar's a little large.
- This collar looks like a guitar strap.
It's huge.
This looks like my dog, so I don't even care.
I just wanna take this with me,
cause I miss my dog.
So let's evaluate here.
This looks like genuine leather.
It looks like it's been hand crafted.
They look like they're annoyed.
They both have felt noses, they both have button eyes.
They both feel like, they're all the same.
- [Host] Oh, the dogs are just a prop
to hold the collars.
- I was looking at the dogs,
because that's what I do, because I'm a, okay.
(beeping)
Uh, this is more expensive, cause it's leather, right?
(dinging)
The dogs are all the same if you wanted to know.
(bouncy music)
Jade roller, I have one of these
and I put it in my fridge all the time
for when I'm traveling a lot
and you get all the puffiness out.
Feels really good and you feel really fancy when you do it.
This one's heavier and bigger.
Oh wow.
I feel like even though this one is bigger and heavier,
I feel like this one's boujier,
I feel like this one's more expensive.
(zinging)
Literally my makeup artist,
she just said she would do the same thing.
So what does that say?
It feels great, okay, I'm done.
I'm sucking at this so hard.
(bouncy music)
Okay, well first of all
I feel like an emperor wizard and I'm very excited.
Let's do these watches.
This one's kind of light coverage, it's a lot runnier.
This one's a lot goopier?
They look very different.
I love makeup, if I wasn't a singer,
I would be a makeup artist.
So I should get this one right.
It's also like perfectly my color, which is cool.
That one's great coverage, but airy I would say, not thick.
This one just feels really goopy to me,
it's not soaking into my skin, it's hard to blend.
Okay, I would say the expensive.
(rattling)
(beeping)
I'm gonna say this is the more expensive one.
(zinging)
And I'm 100% wrong.
You guys, I'm cheap.
The expensive one is $30, more?
45?
80.
This is not $250.
That means that just this little dot is like 70.
Can we save this?
Is this reusable?
I'm like throwing money out the window here.
I'm glad that the singing thing's working out,
cause clearly I would be a really crappy makeup artist.
(laughing)
- Expensive one?
- What would you say?
- I would say this one.
- No, it's this one.
(bouncy music)
Lashes.
The way to elevate every look, every lewk.
This one has a really thick band,
which is annoying to have to get on there
without people noticing.
Just for reference.
See, it adds a lot of depth to my ojo.
And then there's this one.
I'm looking at the camera and I can barely see this.
I would pick this to wear,
but I like a more natural look,
so doesn't mean it's cheaper.
This looks like hand crafted, I'm gonna say this.
(zinging)
(thudding)
Life update, this foundation
has still not soaked into my skin.
(bouncy music)
These look cheap.
But let me investigate,
because I'm not nailing anything else.
So we have some cute matte nails
and then some glitter that goes with the matte.
I will say actually last time I played a show in New York,
I was playing Barclay's?
Opening up for Keith Urban.
And I didn't have time to get my nails done that day,
so I bought some nails and I put them on,
I filed them down so I could play guitar,
and my guitar string got under one of my nails
and went out into the crowd.
Someone caught it like it was a guitar pick.
And it wasn't, it was a nail, so.
These are holographic, iridescent, and a pretty blush color.
These have like little tabs to take off,
which that feels expensive.
And there's not a glue situation on this.
So even though these look cheap,
I think these are more expensive.
(zinging)
I'm overthinking it now because you're in my head.
You've gotten into my head, guys.
(laughing)
(soft music)
All I wanna say is I got the chicken tenders right,
and that's very on brand for me.
And I can hang my hat on that.
(clapping)
Thank you so much (laughs) for watching.
(beeping)
Thank you so much for watching me epically fail
at this Expensive Taste Test.
Clearly I don't have expensive taste, which is exciting.
Except for chicken tenders, obviously.
