During Kelsea Ballerini\u2019s triumphant Patterns record release show at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, October 29, the country superstar was overcome with emotion during her performance of the song \u201cPenthouse.\u201d<\/p>\n
The song features lyrics that candidly address her divorce while also mentioning her beloved dog, Dibs, who has recently been diagnosed with inoperable heart cancer.<\/p>\n
The lines, \u201cI bought the house with a fence \/ Enough room for some kids, a backyard for Dibs,\u201d caused Ballerini to break down in tears, but the sold-out crowd had her back, singing the next chorus for her while she tried to compose herself.<\/p>\n
It was a touching, vulnerable moment that is rare in arena shows, with Ballerini making that massive venue feel as intimate as a small Nashville club.<\/p>\n
