KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A country music performer from Knoxville will start a new tour in January 2025, making stops across the United States until March 2025. However, Kelsea Ballerini is not scheduled to stop in East Tennessee.
The only time she will be in Tennessee will be when she stops in Nashville to perform in Bridgestone Arena on Jan. 31, 2025. Presale for the tour will start on Oct. 29 and tickets will go on sale Nov. 1. Ballerini said on social media said it will be her first arena tour.
Ballerini has a brand-new album, "Patterns," that comes out on Friday. While she may perform songs on the album, she is also known for songs like "I Quit Drinking," which mixes pop and country to tell a story about a woman's experiences with alcoholism after a breakup. "Peter Pan" also pairs acoustic instrumentals and a country chorus to discuss another relationship.
Spotify shows she has around 8.2 million monthly listeners and said her debut album, "The First Time," helped catapult her career, earning her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
Her upcoming tour will wrap up on March 30, 2025, in Denver. She is expected to be a judge on season 27 of "The Voice" in the spring of 2025.
