Kelsea Ballerini is having a full-circle moment after hearing her duet with Kenny Chesney on the radio. 

“Almost wrecked, cried a little, and then called Kenny,” Ballerini wrote on her Instagram Stories after hearing “Half of My Hometown” on the radio. She also shared a screenshot of the Facetime between her and Chesney. 

The duet is extra special to Ballerini who shares her hometown with Chesney,“If I could go back and tell little me driving around Knoxville, listening to songs like, ‘I Go Back,’ and thinking how crazy it was he was from the same place if I could go tell her that we were going to sing this song about our hometown together on a stage like the ACMs, I’d just, I’d pass out,”Kelsea told Audacy’s, Kelly Ford. 

"stay or leave part of me will always be half of my hometown. my dear friend and hometown hero @kennychesney, you joining this song means the world to me. thank you @acmawards for letting us debut it on the @opry stage, and y’all can start requesting it at country radio tomorrow. 🤍" Ballerini via Instagram.
