Ballerini was unable to continue her Buffalo, N.Y., show after the first few songs on Thursday night. That show — along with her Toronto tour stop — will also be postponed. This came after she told her Tuesday night crowd in Detroit that she had the flu.
After ending the Buffalo concert early, Ballerini posted a video on social media site X about the postponements, saying “I am so so sorry that I couldn’t finish the show tonight, I am sicker than I’m trying to be.”
Regarding the three rescheduled shows, she added, “I will make them the best shows I’ve ever played in my whole life, and I will pull out every stop for you, and I will make it so worth it.”
