Kelsea Ballerini had all of Us fooled with her Live on Tour wig.
Ballerini, 31, took to TikTok on Thursday, April 17, to share that her flowing blonde locks that she rocks on stage is actually a wig. In the clip, her hairstylist, Brittany Leslie, ran a Q-tip along her hairline to loosen the glue and tugged on the mane after she performed.
Once the wig was removed from Ballerini’s head, fans caught a glimpse of her cap, which was pinned over French plaits. Leslie then unbraided Ballerini’s hair and cleaned the rest of the glue off her face. The duo hugged each other before the singer went in with makeup remover wipes and took off her glam, which included blue eyeshadow, long lashes, foundation, rose-colored cheeks and pink lips.
Ballerini concluded the video by blowing the camera a kiss.
“Protected my hair, felt like Hannah Montana, and got the after-show nickname Rufus,” she captioned the post, referencing Miley Cyrus’ Disney character, who also wore a wig, as Hannah Montana’s “This Is The Life” played in the background. “Last night of tour shed 🫠.”

Fans shared their surprised reactions to Ballerini’s flawless faux coif in the comments section. “The hairstylist who installed this KILLED it. It was unclockable,” one wrote. A second added, “IT WAS A WIG??? GURRLLL IT LOOKED SO REAL.” A third praised Leslie’s talent, writing, “Your hairdresser needs a raise, this is fantastic work.”
This isn’t the first time Ballerini has made headlines for her tour as of late. Earlier this month, she accepted a custom pair of bedazzled boots from a front-row fan and put them on as she sang her hit “Penthouse.”
The shoes were adorned with Ballerini’s first and last name, as well as her song titles, along with colorful crystals, making the cowgirl boot details stand out that much more.
