Not only is Kelsea Ballerini up for two awards at the 49th Annual CMA Awards next month, but she’ll also be accompanied by a very special date when she walks the red carpet. Kelsea released a video over the weekend asking Allie Allen – a teenager diagnosed with grade 3 brain cancer- if she wanted to be her date to the annual ceremony. Ballerini met Allen at St. Jude Hospital in Memphis, Tennesee, a couple of months ago.
