Jam-packed in the middle of an applauded headlining tour that has taken her around the world and back, Black River Entertainment’s KELSEA BALLERINI will make her debut on CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden with her current single, “I Hate Love Songs,” on April 10.

Predicted to be “her biggest hit ever” by Billboard, the cheeky ode to a modern-day romance was cleverly penned by the Country music trailblazer alongside Shane McAnally and Trevor Rosen and recently notched the second-most added slot at Country radio.

Currently introducing “I Hate Love Songs” on THE UNAPOLOGETICALLY TOUR, the headlining trek picks up next week in Columbus, OH, for a rescheduled show at EXPRESS LIVE! on April 3, followed by a major city sold-out stop at PlayStation Theater in New York City (4/5). The Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, CA, (4/25) is the only venue with limited tickets remaining, as 14 dates quickly hit capacity.

This Friday (3/30), Ballerini will make a special visit to Hemisfair in San Antonio, TX, to jumpstart the three-day 2018 NCAA March Madness Music Festival. Kicking off the AT&T Block Party on the electrifying first night, the non-ticketed event is open to the public on a first-come basis. Live streaming coverage of the festival performance can be found on att.com/blockparty, plus ncaa.combleacherreport.com, and the official NCAA March Madness YouTube channel.

Nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year and Video of the Year (“Legends”), fans can also tune in on April 15 to see Ballerini take the stage live from Las Vegas at the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards on CBS. Leading up to the award show, she’ll participate in on-site events including the sold-out 95.5 THE BULL'S 10TH ANNUAL ALL-STAR GUITAR PULL (4/12) and the inaugural ACM WORKOUT FOR A CAUSE: ERIN OPREA UNLEASHED TOUR (4/14).
