Kelsea Ballerini has addressed speculations that she might be pregnant after deciding to postpone the rest of the concerts on her current tour.

Early this month, the country music star had to leave the stage early during her concert in Buffalo, New York, citing health issues. Shortly after, she took to social media to explain herself, saying that she was "sick" and "couldn't do it." She also apologized to her fans but failed to divulge further information.

When fans began speculating that she could be pregnant, she uploaded a TikTok that said, “Or maybe it’s the flu? before sniffling and concluding, “Yeah, cool."

In her apology to the fans in Buffalo, New York, Kelsea Ballerini said in a video:

“Buffalo, I am so, so sorry that I could not finish the show tonight. 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-a** show. 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 a– show,” she added. "I will make them the best shows I’ve ever played in my whole life 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.”

Kelsea Ballerini, who also served as a coach on The Voice, celebrated her second anniversary with boyfriend Chase Stokes just this January, People Magazine has reported. The two began dating shortly after she finalized her divorce from ex-husband Morgan Evans in November 2022.

She took to Instagram to commemorate the occasion with a carousel of images, coupled with a sweetly penned note about their long-lasting love. In the photos, the pair can be seen spending time at the beach, at home, and with their dogs, Dibs and Milo.

"Two years of catching each other in countless cities, perfecting a chimichurri steak, and creating a world that revolves around dogs," Ballerini wrote in the Instagram caption. "Love you so, teammate."

The Cowboys Cry Too singer revealed that she would be rescheduling three of the remaining shows for health reasons. These include Buffalo on April 11, Pittsburgh on April 12, and Toronto on April 13. The remaining three performances will bring an end to Kelsea Ballerini's Patterns album tour.
