Kelsea Ballerini dishes on ‘wildly uncomfortable year’ just days before kicking off her first-ever arena tour

Kelsea Ballerini is reflecting on her past year. The “Penthouse” singer took to her Instagram to share a few words with her fans about what she learned in 2024, just before she heads out on the road for her upcoming tour later this month.

Alongside her words, she shared a carousel of photos, starting with a photo of Ballerini smiling into the camera with a beautiful body of water behind her. As you scroll through the images, you will find photos of the singer on stage, videos of her and her boyfriend, Chase Stokes, and other moments throughout the year with friends and family.

“A few days late to the party, but 2024 took a few days to reflect on. Honestly, i couldn’t decide in a knee jerk how to round it up, but here’s a few things i’ve landed on and want to share in the name of navigating growing up together on here,” she wrote at the beginning of the caption.

Ballerini continued: “I spent majority of this year wildly uncomfortable. part of it intentional, knowing real growth and creativity (maybe even freedom) comes from pushing myself out of my comfort zone,” adding, “I took the most time off the road that i have in 10 years, and had to rewire my brain to not operate from a place of scarcity from that. then sat in the space to try new things, then actually made the jump and did them. shaking in my boots then learning im more capable than i give myself credit for. and checking a few things off the bucket list along the way (see you in arenas and the big red seat in the next month ?)”

She went on to talk about all of the other moments throughout the year that made her uncomfortable, including finding a steady level of love with Stokes, navigating her 30s, and being able to be still with her life rather than constantly on the go. She then ended the note by saying she wants to be able to “find comfort in being uncomfortable.”

Starting on January 21, Ballerini will be hitting the road again for her 2025 tour and we have all you need to know about the tour schedule, ticket prices, and more!
