Nominated in the categories of The Buzz – Breakout Artist of the Year, XOXO – Best Crush Song (for “Yeah Boy”), Play It Again! – Radio Disney Country Favorite Song (for “Peter Pan”), and The Bestest! – Radio Disney Country Favorite Artist, Ballerini will also CO-HOST the show, which takes place in Los Angeles on April 29 and airs the following night (4/30) at 7 p.m. ET on the Disney Channel and other Disney platforms.

Ballerini was also nominated for Best New Artist at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards and won the show’s Best New Country Artist trophy on March 5.

Meanwhile, Ballerini’s first show in the United Kingdom (5/11) has completely SOLD OUT.
