Country Fans Praise Singer for Making Bullied Fan ‘Feel Safe and Appreciated’ With Mid-Show Pep Talk

Kelsea Ballerini is once again proving to her fans that they made the right person famous.
The country music songstress had hearts melting at one of her recent concerts, where she took a moment to address a young fan in the crowd who has been dealing with bullies at school.
The young concertgoer named Jacob caught Ballerini’s attention while holding up a sign that read, “I get bullied at school because I am a boy and love you,” prompting the “Peter Pan” songstress to offer him some kind words of encouragement, which were captured in fan-captured footage uploaded to TikTok.
“I promise you also the person that’s saying mean things, it’s coming from a place of insecurity,” the 31-year-old singer told Jacob while kneeling down on the edge of the stage to talk to him.
She continued, “They don’t know what they don’t like about themselves so they’re projecting it onto you—It’s a big word, I know. I’ve been in so much therapy.”
“But it doesn’t make it fair and it doesn’t make it right and I’m really sorry that anyone’s ever said anything mean to you. It’s not okay,” Ballerini added, before telling the young kid, “But you’re okay. You’re more than okay.”
“Are you having a good time? That’s all I care about,” she added, before asking Jacob if he wanted to take a selfie with her, while the rest of the crowd cheered his name.
“These are all your friends. Don’t forget that. We got you,” Ballerini then added, before asking the crowd, “We have him, right?”
A number of fans were touched by Ballerini’s sweet gesture, with users on TikTok flocking to the comments to applaud her for showing the young fan such kindness.
“Way to go Kelsea!” one person wrote. “what a terrible thing turned into a sweet moment for him. I hope he goes to school and is so proud of that selfie!”
Another person wrote, “she just changed his life.”
“She’s just pure light,” someone else added, while another fan called the “Penthouse” singer “truly such a beautiful soul.
“For her to take time out of her show to make her fans feel safe and appreciated is so wholesome,” another person chimed in. “Not many people do that and that’s very humble. Protect her at all costs!!!”
Kelsea Ballerini Says Bidding on Date on ‘Southern Charm’ ‘Haunts Me Forever’

Kelsea Ballerini is setting the record straight about her cameo on “Southern Charm,” where she bid on a date with Craig Conover. “The Voice” coach shared all the details of the moment she says still “haunts” her.
Kelsea Ballerini Cleared Up Why She Was on ‘Southern Charm’
During a February appearance on Cosmopolitan’s “Cheap Shots,” Ballerini answered a series of questions about her life and career.
At one point, she was asked about her cameo during season 2 of “Southern Charm” in 2015. The singer reflected on bidding on a date with Conover at a charity auction.
“Oh god, it haunts me forever,” she said about the moment. Ballerini also felt the need to “clear this up” with fans and explain what really happened.
“I was on [a] radio tour and I was doing a show for the radio station on a boat and they were filming ‘Southern Charm’ on the boat,” Ballerini recalled. “And I didn’t know that.”
“The Voice” coach didn’t realize she’d be on camera, as she was there to perform a song. “I was just there playing ‘Love Me Like You Mean It.’ Being like, ‘Hey, radio station, please play my song,’” she shared.
“And then, little did I know, my label had set up the fact that I was going to bid on a date. I didn’t know,” Ballerini said. “I get pushed into [camera] frame … bid it, got the date.”
Ultimately, Ballerini didn’t go on the date with Conover.
“They auctioned [the date] off on the radio station for charity,” she revealed. “Some winner from the radio station got it.”
The country star didn’t lose any sleep over not having that date, however. “Yeah, everything is great as it turned out,” she said.

As for her bold move with DMing Stokes, she noted, “That’s why I was shooting shots. I was like, ‘It’s cold out here!’”
