Kelsea Ballerini is getting some big-time pats on the back, and deservedly so, for the way she handled a young fan at a recent show who had been getting bullied at school.
The boy, named Jacob, held up a sign at school that read, “I get bullied at school because I am a boy and love you.”
Smart working, Jacob, because there was no way Ballerini was going to skip over that. Video shared to TikTok shows her stopping her show to give Jacob a nice pep talk.
“I promise you also the person that’s saying mean things, it’s coming from a place of insecurity,’ she said while kneeling down on the stage to speak with him. “They don’t know what they don’t like about themselves so they’re projecting it onto you. It’s a big word, I know. I’ve been in so much therapy. But it doesn’t make it fair and it doesn’t make it right, and I’m really sorry that anyone’s ever said anything mean to you. It’s not OK.
“But you’re OK,” she added. “You’re more than OK.”
She then asked him if he was having a good time, and if he wanted to take a selfie with her, while the crowd chanted his name.
“These are all your friends,” she said. “Don’t forget that. We got you. We have him right?”
It was an awesome moment from the 31-year-old star and fans were quick to let her know they appreciated it.
