Kelsea Ballerini recently launched an acoustic performance special titled Patterns (Stripped Session), allowing fans an authentic and personal experience of her amiably received 2024 album Patterns. The stripped-down session features seven songs, including fan favorites like "Baggage" and the title track, along with "Sorry Mom," "We Broke Up," "To the Men That Love Women After Heartbreak," "Hindsight is Happiness," and "I Would, Would You."

Filmed in front of just 50 fans, the session captured the emotional core of the album in a highly personal setting. The exclusive event provided attendees with a behind-the-scenes look at the music's origin, allowing Ballerini to connect more directly with her audience. "We just wanted to show you the kind of stripped-down songwriter side of Patterns," Ballerini said.

The full Patterns (Stripped Session) special is now available on YouTube, offering fans everywhere a chance to experience the session regardless of location.

"We know the bar -- we've set it," Ballerini noted, emphasizing the high standards she and her team have for both the music and the experience they deliver.

Patterns, Ballerini's fifth studio album, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart when it was released in the fall of 2024. The stripped session follows in the footsteps of the success of the original album and captures Ballerini's lyrical depth and artistic substance in an acoustic, storytelling environment.
