The 2022 CMT Awards will take place tonight (April 11th) on CBS but one of the show’s co-hosts, Kelsea Ballerini, will be not on site.

Kelsea told fans in a video on social media that she tested positive for COVID-19 a few days ago. She said that was the bad news before sharing the good news, she will still be able to share some hosting duties virtually through a studio set up in her home.

The singer also shared that she is feeling much better and will perform on tonight’s show as well.

Kelsea added in the comments, “IF YOU THINK IM NOT USING MY DRIVEWAY AS A RUNWAY FOR ALL MY LEWKS YOUD BE WRONG THOUGH 💪🏼”
