Kelsea Ballerini ends show early, Kane Brown shares anecdote about first car | Music City Minute

Feb 10, 2025, 4:16 PM

Have you ever been to a show where the artist was so sick, they had to wrap early? I’ve experienced this once with Rob Thomas at a Matchbox 20 concert. Well, some Kelsea Ballerini fans also had this experience late last week in Buffalo, NY. The singer tried to power through her performance but ended up calling it quits after a few songs. Ballerini apologized to fans and promised she will make up her performance.
There’s plenty of car references in Kane Brown’s song, “Miles On It.” He also named his latest album “High Road.” These references lead to Brown talking about his first car in an interview. He said it was a Honda that couldn’t go over 4000 RMP, and he had to slowly accelerate to 60 mph. Needless to say, he probably caused many traffic jams, especially on the highway.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
