Get well soon, Kelsea Ballerini! After appearing at the Grammys, the country music singer and coach of The Voice got right back to her tour—only to fall ill with the flu.

Videos shared on Tik Tok show Kelsea take the stage and tell the crowd that she powered through her show in Detroit and then had some time to rest.
She said, “I’m feeling physically much better…My voice, she still has the flu. My physical self? Thriving. I need your help tonight. As much as you’re willing to give me. There was no world that I wasn’t going to get on this stage tonight and give you everything I have.”

The singer later took to social media to share an update with fans. She said, “Buffalo, I am so so so sorry that I could not finish the show tonight. I am sicker than I am trying to be. I didn’t want to let anyone down tonight, but I got through the first songs tonight and I couldn’t do it.”

She continued to explain that the Buffalo show and her next two stops in Pittsburgh and Toronto would be moved to April. Kelsea promised, “I will make them the best shows I have ever played in my life. I hope you understand, and thank you for the grace to be human, and I love you.”
