Country Star Kelsea Ballerini Checks Off Bucket List with ACL TV Performance

On November 15, 2025, country music star Kelsea Ballerini fulfilled a long-held dream by taking the stage on the renowned Austin City Limits TV program. The 32-year-old singer-songwriter delivered a captivating concert, showcasing songs from throughout her impressive career.

Ballerini co-headlined the episode alongside fellow country artist Cam, with both performers showcasing their unique talents. Ballerini treated the audience to a high-energy version of her song "Baggage" from her Patterns album, backed by a full band. However, the standout moment came when she performed an emotional rendition of "Penthouse," a track from her Rolling Up the Welcome Mat EP, accompanied solely by piano.

"Austin City Limits, thank you guys so much for having us tonight. What a bucket list, what a dream," Ballerini expressed to the enthusiastic crowd. She went on to say, "I hope you had as much fun as we did, yeah? My name is Kelsea. I'll see you soon, I promise."

The ACL TV episode, which will air on PBS and stream on the PBS App, showcases the unique talents of both Ballerini and Cam. As the series' executive producer, Terry Lickona, noted, "Even fewer can bring the intimacy and honesty of deeply personal songs to the stage, or in this case, the ACL stage. Both Kelsea Ballerini and Cam have those unique talents."
