KELSEA BALLERINI RETURNS TO NBC’S LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS WITH “I HATE LOVE SONGS” (8/1)

Sparking a high-profile streak of three anticipated television performances, Black River Entertainment’s KELSEA BALLERINI first brought her chart-rising single, “I Hate Love Songs,” to NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers last night (8/1).

“With great control and tasteful falsetto, Ballerini sang sassy lines” (Billboard) in front of a hot pink Yamaha grand piano while dressed in a stylish mixed denim suit by Chloé. Her soulful appearance to much applause follows her premiere stop on the late-night program two years ago.

Dubbed “the face of country music in 2018” (The News & Observer), Ballerini continues her three-peat headlining New York’s iconic Central Park tomorrow (8/3). The bona fide trailblazer is the only Country artist billed for ABC’s Good Morning America Summer Concert Series this year. To attend her show, fans are welcome to go to Rumsey Playfield (72nd Street entrance on Fifth Avenue) when the park opens to the public at 6 a.m. (ET).

For a second year, she’ll join Thomas Rhett next Wednesday (8/8), to co-host ABC’s CMA Fest. Filmed live during the annual four-day music festival at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium this past June, Ballerini is also slated to perform. The three-hour primetime special airs beginning at 8/7c.

Ballerini returns to Nashville on August 24 as Keith Urban’s special guest on his GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR. Introducing songs off her acclaimed sophomore album, UNAPOLOGETICALLY, she’ll continue the trek through November 3 at American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX.

The 12-track compilation – all written or co-written by Ballerini – features the GOLD-certified, #1 hit “Legends” and current chart-rising single “I Hate Love Songs.” This summer, she’s Keith Urban’s featured artist on the GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR, after wrapping her own sold-out headlining THE UNAPOLOGETICALLY TOUR.
