Kelsea Ballerini is addressing pregnancy rumors after her recent concert cancellations.

On Friday, Feb. 7, Ballerini responded to the rumors in a TikTok video.

With the comment "Maybe pregnant?!" stitched at the top, the visibly congested singer — wearing eye patches — set her phone down, stepped back, and let out an exasperated sigh.

"Or, maybe it's the flu," she said, sniffling before adding, "Yeah. Cool."

After ending her Buffalo show last week, Ballerini took to TikTok to apologize.

"Buffalo, I am so so sorry that I could not finish the show tonight,” she said at the time. “I am sicker than I am trying to be and I did not want to let anyone down tonight.”

She continued, “I just got through the first few songs and I couldn't do it. I’m so sorry but I never want to give you a half ass show."
