Taking her critically acclaimed
sophomore album UNAPOLOGETICALLY to the next level,
Ballerini delivered her intimate sonic diary of loss, life, and love, onstage
each night from start to finish, just as the thematic 12-track collection was
personally handcrafted. From being buried in an all-consuming heartbreak from
the depths of "six feet down” in “Graveyard,” to learning to thrive
and embrace the uncertain “In Between,” and ultimately not only
discovering herself but true love in the “tragic and epic and so amazing”
journey of “Legends,” the chronological tale of Ballerini’s whirlwind world
will be personified live in three high-caliber parts while incorporating a
visually-immersive experience for fans.
“I’ve never performed an entire
album during a show before, but it was the only way to truly open my heart to
loss, life, and love,” admits Ballerini. “This new album and tour is every
little piece of me, unapologetically, and I am so ready to embrace all
the messy and beautiful, plus relive the hits with you.”

As her Top 5-and-rising lead
single “Legends” continues to charge charts
(No.2 Country Aircheck Mediabase chart 7,532 spins 49.152 milion audience
impressions), Ballerini has shared her summer-fall venture as part of KEITH
URBAN’s GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR kicking off June 15 at
Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in St. Louis, MO, through November 3 at
American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX.
Recently offering fans a taste of
what’s to come during a surprise pop-up show at Nashville’s club Exit/In on
January 17, Urban and Ballerini jumped genre lines with a cover of CAMILA
CABELLO’s sultry single “Never Be the Same” (CAMILA), to
which the pop star hailed on Twitter: “OH MY GOD!!!! @KeithUrban AND
@KelseaBallerini THIS. IS. MAGICAL. #NeverBeTheSame.”

“The Best Albums of 2017,” Billboard Magazine’s “The 10 Best Country Albums of 2017: Critics’ Picks,” Rolling Stone Country’s “40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2017,” and BuzzFeed’s “The Top 50 Pop Songs Of 2017” (“Get Over Yourself”) – with media applauding:
“Her voice is winningly sweet, and also durably strong — it
suggests a carefully withheld tenderness. And she is an elegant songwriter…” – The New York Times
“… the most daring female artists in the genre these days are
those that are singing songs of empowerment and self-reliance…And right now no
one is doing that better than Kelsea Ballerini.”
