Kelsea Ballerini has had a banner year in country music and, in October, announced her first-ever- headlining arena tour (dates below). After all the work she has put into making this year a big one for her, Kelsea posted a bunch of highlight photos from her year on Instagram and thanked fans for the success she has enjoyed.
She captioned the photo dump in her signature all lowercase writing, “the work (dream) part of my year is officially done. i’m grateful beyond words for the places i’ve been lucky enough to exist in this year, familiar and new. the friends, the journey, the music, the support, and the life behind it all to make it make sense. thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Many fans reacted to the post, including one who wrote, “Rest up, 2025 will be sooooo fun.” Another fan commented, “Good pictures and videos.” One more fan said, “I feel I was just crying for the first time and now you’ve come all this way it’s so beautiful.”
