Ballerini launches "Patterns" at MSG

Ballerini announced the show this morning on the TODAY show.

"The whole time I was making this album, I was visualizing and dreamscaping ways to bring it to life for our live show, and it was something I couldn't wait more than five days after its release to do," Ballerini said. "When good things happen, when new chapters begin, you want to share them with your people. This time around, it just so happens to be in a bucket list venue in the heart of a city that is landmarked heavily in the music and visuals of 'Patterns.' I'm so giddy to be celebrating this album release at Madison Square Garden. See you in New York City."

Ballerini also made the announcement via video. A helicopter gives a tour of New York to an unknown passenger, when the camera pulls back to reveal Ballerini's dog Dibs in the passenger seat. Upon landing, the pooch hops in a cab, spins by a few of the locations that appear on "Patterns" and is dropped off near the historic arena where his mommy waits. After asking him if he thinks she should do it, Ballerini stares into the vastness wearing her guitar, smiling at the thought of what she could do.

Ballerini opted for an all-girl approach to "Patterns," teaming up with producer and longtime collaborator Alysa Vanderheym. After a songwriting retreat with Vanderheym, Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee Hillary Lindsey, GRAMMY Songwriter of the Year nominee Jessie Jo Dillon and Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild, Ballerini created an album focused on female friendship, vulnerability, honesty and the way relationships really are.

"I feel creatively free and emotionally open. Very awake to real life, and my patterns that contribute to my present reality. I'm ready to share that," said Ballerini.

Ballerini tapped Tigerlily Gold and Aly & AJ to open the show.

An exclusive pre-sale for Chase cardholders starts today at noon eastern. Tickets to the general public will be available on Kelsea's birthday – Sept. 12 – at 10 a.m.
