Kelsea Ballerini Tests Positive for COVID, Will Host CMT Awards from Home: I'm 'Devastated'

Kelsea Ballerini has tested positive for COVID-19.

The country star, 28, announced in an Instagram post on Monday morning that she contracted the illness and would subsequently be partaking in her hosting duties for the 2022 CMT Music Awards from home.

"All right friends, I have some bad news, and I have some good news," Ballerini said in a video. "The bad news is that a couple of days ago I tested positive for COVID and the CMT Awards are tonight, so unfortunately I cannot be there in person anymore."

Noting that she is "devastated" by her diagnosis, the "Peter Pan" singer continued by sharing that her "good news" is that she is "feeling a lot better."

"The incredible CMT team and my team have bought part of the CMT set to my house, to my little bubble, and set it up to where I can still host and perform," added Ballerini. "It is certainly not what we had expected or planned for, but we are doing our damn best. ... Let's make some lemonade together out of these very bitter lemons."

The annual fan-voted awards ceremony then noted that Kane Brown, who co-hosted with Ballerini at last year's CMT Music Awards, "graciously agreed to step in" and host alongside Anthony Mackie.

"They have plenty of surprises in store for tonight's show," the statement concluded.
