Charlie Puth Speaks Out After Kelsea Ballerini Hit With Object Onstage

While the country music star assured fans she was “fine” following the incident, she noted, “We all have triggers and layers of fears way deeper than what is shown, and that’s why I walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, band and crew, and the crowd all felt safe to continue.”

“That’s all I ever want,” Kelsea continued, “is for shows to feel like a safe place for us all.”

The Rolling Out the Welcome Mat musician also called out criticism against her for voicing her concerns. Sharing a screenshot of an online comment calling her “soft” for speaking out, Kelsea wrote, “a sad, scary world we live in.”
