Kelsea Ballerini played songs from her new album, Patterns, to a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. The most moving moment of the night happened when she fell apart as she was singing "Penthouse," a song from her Rolling Up the Welcome Mat EP. As Kelsea sang the line, "I bought the house with a fence/ Enough room for some kids, a backyard for Dibs," she started to cry. It was in August that Kelsea let her fans know that her dog, Dibs, has cancer in his heart. Unable to finish the song, the crowd finished it for her. Kelsea just stood back and let the tears flow.
Bailey Zimmerman recently welcomed a second dog to his family when he adopted a new puppy named Pie. After he brought her home, he noticed that she wasn't acting right and they rushed her to the vet. Pie was diagnosed with parvovirus or parvo, which is a "highly contagious disease" that "attacks white blood cells and the gastrointestinal tract of dogs." Dogs who have parvo need immediate medical attention because it can lead to severe illness or death. Thankfully Bailey was able to get her to the vet on time and Pie is doing much better. He decided to adopt another golden retriever because he wanted Marely to have a "best friend to grow up with." According to Bailey's update, the two dogs are "best buds" and play and nap together constantly.
Old Dominion was honoured last week with the Angels Among Us Award, which acknowledges their longtime commitment to St. Jude Children's Hospital. The group admitted that they felt drawn to support St. Jude from their first visit early on in their career. "Our first tour of the hospital really moved us all and it just seemed like it gave us a real perspective on why we do what we do. And it's a really easy thing to do when you're in our position when you get to do what you love to do and then someone asks for help. It's a blessing to us to be a part of it," Matthew Ramsey shared. Old Dominion joins previous Angels Among Us recipients including Randy Owen, Brothers Osborne, Scotty McCreery, Florida Georgia Line, Lady A, Jake Owen, Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker.
