Nashville,Tenn. – Following her first-hand cover art reveal on Instagram, Black River Entertainment recording artist KELSEA BALLERINI excitedly hosted an impromptu dance party with fan club members post-show in Darien Center, NY, to celebrate the midnight launch of her much-anticipated sophomore album, UNAPOLOGETICALLY, available for preorder yesterday (8/11).
