Kelsea Ballerini unexpectedly ended her concert in Buffalo, New York, on Feb. 6 due to illness, she said in a video she posted on her Instagram stories.
“Buffalo, I am so, so sorry that I could not finish the show tonight,” she said.
“I am sicker than I’m trying to be, and I did not want to let anyone down tonight, and 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.”

During the Feb. 6 concert in Buffalo, Ballerini told the crowd she had the flu, but noted, “I am feeling physically much better,” before explaining she had been trying to deal with her ailments.
“We powered through the show in Detroit and yesterday I took enough DayQuil and Nyquil to tranquilize a horse,” she said.
Interestingly, Ballerini also shared a message on her Instagram stories on Feb. 6 before the Buffalo concert, explaining that she was recovering.
“For those sweet angel humans asking, I'm feeling better,” she wrote. “Got some good rest (WOW I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE SLEEP) and the meds are doing their job and I can't wait to perform for you tonight.
“My voice is still a little raspy, but we're gonna lean in (like the phoebe sexy voice) and I will see you on that stage. No way I'm letting you down.”
