Country star Kelsea Ballerini will be the musical guest on the March 4th episode of Saturday Night Live, it was announced Thursday.
It will mark Ballerini’s first time on SNL – and the first time a country artist has performed on the show since Kacey Musgraves in October 2021. (Genre-spanning singer Brandi Carlile was musical guest in October 2021 and December 2022.)
Hosting the episode will be Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Ballerini is promoting her just-released EP Rolling Up the Welcome Mat.
Two nights after her SNL appearance, she will kick off a North American tour at History in Toronto.
