BREAKING NEWS: Kelsea Ballerini To Host CMT Awards From Home

Kelsea Ballerini has tested positive for COVID-19.

The country music singer shared the news on Instagram on Monday morning that she contracted the illness and would subsequently be partaking in her hosting duties for the 2022 CMT Music Awards from home.

People reports that the CMT Music Awards confirmed the news.

“CMT Music Awards co-host, Kelsea Ballerini, tested positive for COVID-19. “Fortunately, she is asymptomatic and remains excited to co-host the show (remotely).”

The annual fan-voted awards ceremony then noted that Kane Brown, who co-hosted with Ballerini at last year’s CMT Music Awards, “graciously agreed to step in” and host alongside Anthony Mackie.

Meanwhile, if you had to describe Kelsea Ballerini’s, it wouldn’t be traditional country, and that’s fine with her.

She told People in a recent interview that she hates limitations.

“I wonder why the boundaries are there in the first place. Who put them there? Why are they still there? Those are questions I’m always asking myself. As a woman in country music I think it’s my duty to challenge everything. Why not have one song with a banjo, one song with a beat drop? Who cares? Music is music, and I do think there’s space for all of it.”
