Kelsea Ballerini Gets Real About a ‘Stress Rash’ Before Performing

Kelsea Ballerini is just like Us — stress can cause her skin to break out.

Ballerini, 31, took to Instagram on Tuesday, January 21, to share the relatable rash she got hours before taking the stage for her first concert on her Kelsea Ballerini Live on Tour. “Happy show day, I have a stress rash,” she said, pointing at red dots formed on her cheeks. “That’s how you know it’s gonna be a good show!” The country music star laughed. “See you tonight.”

Ballerini went makeup free in the clip, giving fans a full look at the rash. Her blonde hair was parted to the side and still wet from showering.

The “Cowboys Cry Too” singer also teased moments from her first stop in Grand Rapids, Michigan, including a snap of her tossing a voluminous boa into the air to reveal her figure-hugging costume.

Another barely-there look included a chain dress adorned with red beads. Ballerini made the heavy metal moment even more fabulous with nude fishnets layered underneath shimmery stockings, plus knee-high boots for sexy good measure.

Ballerini further stepped up the sparkle with pink glittery shadow brushed across her lids. The rest of her eye makeup featured a terracotta shade blended to her brow bone and strategically swept along her waterline and long lashes. She tied her glam together with pink lined lips, rosy cheeks and filled-in eyebrows. Her platinum blonde hair was styled in messy — but chic — waves.

Another one of her sultry costumes commanded attention with cutouts across her chest and torso, crystal-embellished hearts and fitted pants that hugged her curves.

“Giving very much good girl with a little rage,” Ballerini captioned the post.

Ballerini’s tour travels through major cities including Chicago, Nashville, Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle, Las Vegas and more before wrapping in April. Here’s hoping for more double tap–worthy fashion moments along the way.
