Lady Antebellum will be back this spring with a new album and tour.
Their album, Heart Break comes out on June 9th. Hillary Scott says the record's title comes from one of the tracks. "It’s all about those personal growths everyone goes through, and it was liberating to get back in the studio with Charles and Dave to intertwine those feelings into the recording process. I feel like we’ve re-emerged stronger than ever and I can’t wait to share more music!"
Lady A's You Look Good tour kicks off on May 26th in California with Kelsea Ballerini and Brett Young. They will be at Blossom on July 21st.
Kelsea Ballerini is stepping away from social media -- but just for two weeks.
Kelsea found inspiration in sunsets, beaches and starry skies during her vacation in Australia with her fiance, and she wants to tap into it without any distractions. She writes on her final Instagram post for a while, "As I head home to Nashville, and for the next two weeks I'm going to dive into that and see what I can find."
Kelsea plans to use the time to finish her sophomore album.
