Kelsea Ballerini has consistently made history. With the release of her debut album The First Time (Black River), she became "the only female country artist to hit #1 with her first three consecutive singles from a debut album." She has logged four back-to-back Top 10 entries on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, including the platinum-selling The First Time [2015], gold-selling Unapologetically [2017], gold-selling kelsea [2020], and ballerini [2020]. With 25 certifications from the RIAA to date, her catalog boasts a string of essential smashes such as the double-platinum "Miss Me More" and "Peter Pan," platinum-selling "hole in the bottle" with Shania Twain, gold-selling "I Quit Drinking" with LANY and the recently certified platinum "half of my hometown" feat. Kenny Chesney, which marked Kelsea's seventh #1. Among dozens of accolades thus far, she has garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations, won two ACM Awards, two CMA Awards, took home the iHeartRadio Music Awards honor for "Best New Artist," and received multiple career nominations from the ACM Awards, American Music Awards, CMA Awards, CMT Awards and People's Choice Awards. Most recently, Kelsea led the field for 2022 CMT Music Awards nominations with three nominations for "Video of The Year," "Collaborative Video of The Year" and "CMT Performance of The Year." She also earned a nomination for "Music Event of the Year" for the 2022 ACM Awards as both artist and producer of "half of my hometown" feat. Kenny Chesney. This marked Kelsea's first ACM nomination as a producer. She concluded 2021 as the "#3 most-played female artist on country radio" and CMT "Artist of the Year" in addition to picking up "Musical Event of the Year" and "Video of the Year" at the CMA Awards for the platinum-certified "half of my hometown" feat. Kenny Chesney. On April 11th, Kelsea co-hosted the CMT Awards on CBS nationwide. Expanding her sphere of influence, she released her first original book of poetry Feel Your Way Through, and Dolly Parton tapped her to star in the audiobook of Run, Rose, Run. In addition, the multi-platinum country superstar was recently named the newest face of COVERGIRL. She has joined the brand in a multi-year partnership and is set to launch a cosmetic collaboration with the brand next year. It's no wonder NPR proclaimed, "Kelsea Ballerini is definitely one of the most influential women in country right now... she's defining the sound of the genre." She also was inducted as a member of the famed Grand Ole Opry in 2019. At the time, she notably was the Opry's youngest member, in its nearly 100-year history, since being founded in 1925. Kelsea's upcoming fourth album, SUBJECT TO CHANGE, is slated to be released on September 23, 2022. The first single off the album, "HEARTFIRST," quickly took over airwaves, and was notably the "most added song at country radio" the week of its release. Kelsea Ballerini is ready to continue making history in 2022 and beyond.
ACM had to give away tickets to make it look crowded. In the vip seats you could not see a thing Big mistake moving the ACM Awards to Allegiant stadium. Needs to stay at the MGM
Layout of stages was terrible. One stage in the back of the stadium (at the top) faced the windows and not the crowd. None of the presenters could be see on the video screens.
Kelsey was flawless, I hope to see her in concert one day. I saw her at the ACM's when poor Dolly Parton announced her as Kelly lol then quickly corrected it. The ACM's were the best show in the world and in Vegas even better!
The venue was too large for a several important reasons. 1. The stadium wasn't full so the excitement never built. 2. You couldn't see any of the stars. Dolly was a glittery dot on the stage and the only stars you knew were present were the ones who performed or won. 3. The big screens would often be blank or have graphics rather than showing the speaker/performer. So then as a spectator you just heard the voice. We had fun but the night was disappointing given my hopes of what it would be!
Not sure why you would hold an event in a football stadium that holds 70,000 for 35,000 people ..and had cut ticket prices by over 50pct to get 35,000 ..some of the stages were where you couldn’t see the artist preforming or they had their back to 60 pct of the audience while preforming .some of the acts were on a big screen beside the stage and some were not ..the presentation of the awards were on a center stage not on the video board ..they had a stage on the second level where you could see just the heads of the artist ..won’t be going back to this event next year if it’s in this venue
The ACM awards were amazing. So many talented artists sharing their art with us! The downside to this was the presenters on the stage weren’t showing up on the screens so we couldn’t see their faces and I felt like that was a miss. There were several stages which made it hard to figure out where the people were actually standing sometimes during the songs. And the centerstage artists were facing the stage instead of the audience which I thought was really weird. They were actually facing the pit but I felt like all the people sitting behind them or missing out and only getting to see their backs. Allegiant stadium is beautiful but there guidelines for wristlets and bags is ridiculous! I had a wristlet with me but because it was a half inch bigger than their piece of paper they wouldn’t let me bring it in. I felt that was being a little over and above ridiculous .
Kelsea is an incredible song writer and to see her songs come to life on stage is incredible. She is high energy with control. And you can absolutely tell she loves being on stage crushing it! I went to 4 of her shows last year and just saw her at the ACMs and I hope she releases new music and tour dates soon because I’m antsy for more Kelsea!
I loved the energy! Kelsea looked like she was having the time of her life. Fun night all the way around!!
ACM had a chance to show the way to present award shows with live audience, no commercial, wall to wall tight two hour production streaming world wide. I went to take in the production organization and methods. The show production and the entire event was so horrible it was embarrassing. I exited before the program finished. I have personally produced and directed large celebrity events on much the same scale and would have fired most of folks involved. The entertainers if doing their own show would have riders preventing use of inferior equipment from back line to sound boards and engineers. Camera operators never shot a golf game. I suspect the mess was the result of too many technical folks operating without central control. The fans were used merely as a back drop and their enjoyment was disrespected. I suspect most fans won’t return!
Sound was not good Stadium is beautiful but there were a lot of empty seats and I asked to be moved down closer or to another section and I was told that it couldn’t be done
Most of the performances were above and behind us. You couldn't see abd it wasn't projected on the big screen. Definitely not worth the money we paid for our seats!!
The concert was great, but the setup sucked. all the seating was so squashed together you had very little room to sit and when other people are going through your isle you had no choice but stop everything you were doing including enjoying the show and stand up forcing yourself back just to let a person squeeze past you and there was hardly any room for that. these seats are made for small people, ALL PEOPLE AREN'T SMALL!!
Rookie camera work. Didn’t see any one winning awards. Didn’t see anyone giving awards to the winners. Terrible sound. Couldn’t hear Dolly talking. And a lot more
Kelsea Ballerini was amazing and i loved her outfit and the Jonas Brothers were amazing too. It was my first Jonas Brothers concert and my first time seeing Kelsea Ballerini in concert. I hope that I'll get to see her in concert again and maybe even meet her and get her autograph.
She was great and and totally relatable she took her shoes off on stage lol you just have with her
I have recently became a huge fan within the last year, and I would LOVE to see Kelsea live! I have heard she puts on an incredible show and I would love to experience it. Charlotte, NC, Greenville, SC, Columbia, SC are very much wanted dates!
Her music & voice were fantastic. She was better than I expected. Kelsea is very captivating and she comes across so wholesome and clean. My seats were in the middle area of the grandstand where I could see & hear everything so clearly.
Nothing personally about him just the music was so loud and echoing in the Grand stands we could not understand a word he said. Thank godness, Kelsea must have better people prepping her music. She was awesome and we could hear her good.
Second time seeing Kelsea Ballerini and she gets better every time, she was fantastic. Had seats up front but the only problem was the speakers were in the front on the floor,very unpleasant, should of been mounted above the seating.
All we were able to stay for was Hunter Hayes. The vocals were great but could not understand some of his lyrics because the music it self was so very loud. Very disappointed in the show. Like to be able to sing along and he played a lot of new music which was great but could not understand the lyrics.
