Kelsea Ballerini - half of my hometown (feat. Kenny Chesney) [Live From the 56th ACM Awards]

[@Kristine_202]

She was fangirling the whole time and I loved it. You could tell how excited she was to perform with Kenny. This was one of my favorite performances of the night.

[@natisupersinger]

Yea! Reminds me of lambert/Shelton duo !

Why are white people from southern states so tanned?

[@Kristine_202]

@@thankuslay6766 Are you talking about Kenny? He spends most of his time in the islands. LOL His tour was postponed for two years due to COVID so he's been in St. John chilling in the sun. I don't blame him!

[@Kristine_202]

@@faithbrewer1703 I was going to say, "Because it's sunny." 🤣 I lived in the south for 10 years. Tanning is just a "side effect," unless you wear sun screen. (Which I highly recommend.) Where I lived, the coldest is got was around 60 degrees, so I definitely spent way more time outside then I do now that I live in a northern state. Kenny is EXTRA tan, but he's spent the pandemic in the Virgin Islands, so what do you expect? LOL

Both of the great musicians are from my hometown and we all miss ya... Central high school love .....

No matter how much I listen to this song the memories and nostalgia comes flying back I feel like this will be one of those classics not matter what year it is people can relate

[@wendysaslow8631]

I agree!

[@drawnmap7023]

she sang with a legend (Kenny) and introduced a legend (Clay Walker). Therefore, she's a legend too 👏🏻🔥

Thank you so much.

One of her song is “Legend”. Nuff said, Ms. Legend Kelsea.

This song bring me back to Cedaredge Colorado, CHS Class of 1981. Nostalgia is a delicate thing. Nostalgia, the ache in one's heart for a place and time that no longer exist. For me, 1982 Delta Colorado. Friday night, off work from Terrell's restaurant. Cruising Main street, house parties later. I was 19, young, free and didn't even know it. Memories from a time long past and forgotten like tears in the rain.

Kelsea’s voice has gotten so much stronger. I love it.

[@laurenclarke4411]

I love you, Kelsea!!! You are my actual hero in life! I know you probably won't see this but you helped me get through residential treatment and I survived not only depression but anxiety and suicidal thoughts from listening to your music daily, people judge me for being obsessed with you but they don't know the whole story. You are not only my hero but my role model and I really hope others like me find your music because it has been absolutely life-changing. I am alive today because of you and I am so thankful for you and your music!

[@robertjorgensen3817]

Your not alone my dear.. she has a song for almost anything. Best wishes ❤

[@dragonflyy000]

Congrats for all the hard work you've been doing to get your life back on track! I know it's not an easy journey. But you're stronger than you know. And if people judge you for loving Kelsea's music to help you thru it- screw em! Its not their life and its DEF not their business! You do what works for you!! Don't give up, just keep going! Its always the one choice you'll never regret. YOU deserve the best out of this life! 🦋 Hugs & Blessings 🦋

[@kp8321]

[@ShellB726]

Yes! I hadn't heard the song before this video and I am still just awe struck by this song. The way the song effortlessly flows between the two as they perform, the chemistry they have together in the music/lyrics makes you feel like you're not just being sang to but that you're a part of the song. Perfection! 😘💋

[@taylorbudd3831]

I was so emotional watching this knowing how much this song means to Kelsea. I can’t imagine how she feels preforming this song with Kenny. I am so proud of her and everything she does but especially this. This is a mountain top moment for her I’m sure and I’m so excited to see what else this song has in store for her!

[@kelseaballerini4542]

Thank you so much.

[@shanekahaki6404]

I love this song song much. I love especially when she says, 'Back roads raise, highways they take us, memories make us wanna go back to our hometown, settle down raise some kids in red and black, go bobcats while the other half of our hometown was in the crowd, they knew the words they sang them loud. And all I wanna do is make them proud coz half of me will always be Knoxville, Tennessee. My hometown

[@sarahparker2832]

Kelsea mentioned a while back that this song makes her super emotional and she may never perform it. So when it was announced she was performing it at the acms I was beyond excited!This is one of my favorite Kelsea songs and it means a lot to me. You sounded amazing Kels,Kenny sounded good too! Your outfit was super pretty as well💙🥺

Kelsea is one of the most talented modern day vocalists. Sounds the exact same live as recorded. And Kenny, he's a legend.

[@hilarionclemontpramoso4758]

There is something about this song that I can relate to, though I am not from the US. I just love and adore you, Kelsea. I have loved you since you released Peter Pan. That's one of my favorite songs of yours. It was so relatable, really.

[@peter33021]

Who could have thought those 2 are from the same hometown, Knoxville, Tennessee my hometown?? Kenny Chesney is one of my favorite, so I can only imagine! Surprises has it's own rewards.

[@annikaboothman6605]

Such a beautiful song. Hearing it makes me tear up and remember all the good times I had in my hometown. A lot of people grow up wanting to “escape” their hometown and then grow older wanting to go back. But being a kid who’s parents moved me away from my home, my friends, and my family over and over, I am growing up wanting so badly to go back home and I will grow older wanting to settle down and raise my kids there. But being moved away from it numerous times has made me realize how much it means to me and how much it hurts to lose it. I will never take it for granted :)
