Kelsea Ballerini kicked off her much-anticipated KELSEA BALLERINI LIVE ON TOUR 2025 on Tuesday night at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI. The show marked the start of her first headlining arena tour, featuring 36 stops and special guests Sasha Alex Sloan and MaRynn Taylor.
The show featured a 24-song set list with songs spanning her entire career as well as tracks from her latest album, Patterns, and her beloved Rolling Up The Welcome Mat project.
Ballerini admits this tour is a dream come true moment from her and took a moment to reflect on how far she’s come in a heartfelt Instagram post just one day before the tour kicked off.
“Tomorrow starts our very first arena tour, and I can’t shy away from the absolute pinch-me, teary-eyed nature I’m feeling going into it,” she began. “So, so many incredible people have spent these last months pouring their ideas, hours, and magic into this show in hopes we honor the journey that has brought us here, and honors those of you that are so kindly showing up for it.”
She went on to share her true feelings heading into the tour writing, “Here’s to 36 sing-alongs, rooms that feel safe and celebrate being human, and glitter, damn it. I’m giddy, I’m nervous, I have a weird amount of bruises on my legs from forgetting where the stage stairs are, and mostly, I’ve been waiting on this since I was 13 years old. See you tomorrow?”
Fans shared clips from the show all over social media, offering a look into Ballerini’s next-level production and adding to the overall excitement for the tour.
KELSEA BALLERINI LIVE ON TOUR 2025 will continue on Thursday, Jan. 23 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois and make its way to major markets around the U.S. through April 9.
