Kelsea Ballerini announced the postponement of several shows in a Instagram Story video message Thursday.
The famous country singer is currently on her “Kelsea Ballerini Live Tour” but had to prematurely end her Thursday concert at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo New York due to illness. She used her platform to notify fans that she is pushing back some dates so she can recover from her health issues.
“Buffalo, I am so so sorry that I could not finish the show tonight,” she said in her video. “I am sicker than I am trying to be and I did not want to let anyone down tonight.”

Ballerini went on to say, “I just got through the first few songs and I couldn’t do it. I’m so sorry but I never want to give you a half ass show.”
She explained that her body simply needs more time to recover in order to get past her current health challenges.
“So we are rescheduling tonight, Buffalo, tomorrow, Pittsburgh and the next day, Toronto, to the end of the tour, April 11th, 12th and 13th,” Ballerini said.
The famous singer promised fans she would be back in full force to make up for the inconvenience the postponement may cause.
“And I will make them the best shows I’ve ever played in my whole life,” she said.
She told fans she plans to do everything she can to heal and bounce back.
“And I will put out every stop for you and I will make it so worth it,” she said.
“I’m gonna’ go rest now and get better so I can really show up for the rest of this tour.”
Ballerini added an emotional note to her fans.
“I hope you understand — thank you for the grace to be human and I love you,” she said in the video. (RELATED: Dave Matthews Band Abruptly Pulls Out Of Wildfire Charity Concert)
Ballerini shared a photograph of herself lying in bed cuddling a pillow she received as a gift from a fan, alongside the caption, “Also to the sweet fan who made this pillow tonight, I can’t even tell you how much I needed this and what it means. Thank you. I love and appreciate y’all. See you in a few days.”
