Kelsea Ballerini Announces Fan’s Pregnancy During Tulsa Concert

TULSA, Okla. — Kelsea Ballerini delighted fans at her recent concert by helping one expectant mother announce her pregnancy mid-performance. During the show on Saturday, April 5, at the BOK Center Arena, Ballerini surprised Maddy, the mom-to-be, by filming a heartfelt video.

Holding up Maddy’s phone in selfie mode, Ballerini addressed the crowd, saying, “Hello, my name is Kelsea Ballerini, and I’m here to tell you that Maddy’s pregnant!” The crowd erupted into applause as Ballerini swiveled the camera to capture Maddy’s excitement as she waved from the audience. “And she’s due in November? She’s due in November!” Ballerini cheered, amplifying the joyous moment.

Maddy shared her reaction on social media, explaining how Ballerini’s attention was drawn to her sign that read, “Can you help me announce my pregnancy?” “Yes. Yes,” Ballerini immediately responded, her enthusiasm reflected in her animated expressions.

The Tulsa concert was one of the final shows on Ballerini’s inaugural arena tour, with remaining performances scheduled in South Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, and Toronto. Throughout the tour, Ballerini has engaged openly with her audience, a change from her previous hesitance to speak between songs.

In an interview with Billboard published on April 1, Ballerini acknowledged her past fear of public speaking during live shows. “My biggest fear was talking on stage, to the point where I would literally get on my laptop and have the set list up, and I would type out word-for-word exactly what I was going to say and when I was going to say it every night,” she said. “This tour, I’ve done none of that, and it’s just been so freeing.”

She emphasized the different dynamic this tour has provided. “If I feel like talking, I’ll talk for 10 minutes and read signs and get people’s stories,” she shared. “It’s kept me really present for each show, and it also helps me remember each show.”

Fans can watch the touching moment of Ballerini announcing the pregnancy on social media and witness the connection she shares with her audience during this special tour.
