Kelsea Ballerini fans are still wiping away the tears after an emotional moment during one of her recent concerts.
While the “Penthouse” singer took the stage at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Mo. on Friday night, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house as Ballerini began crying in the middle of the show while talking about her mom.

As seen in footage from the concert posted on TikTok, Ballerini was addressing the crowd in a vulnerable moment on stage when she revealed that she has been away from home for three weeks. So, to lift her spirits, her mom—and her beloved dog Dibs—surprised her before the show on Friday, April 4.
Fittingly, Ballerini then decided to play her track “Sorry Mom” as the surprise song for the evening, though she could hardly make it through the song without breaking down in tears.

At the end of the video, the country songstress could be seen pointing to someone in the audience, presumably her mama, and saying, “I love you,” before the lights went down.
Ballerini’s fans were instantly touched by the sweet moment from the “Peter Pan” singer, with tons of TikTok users saying they couldn’t even watch the video without crying.
“Kelsea crying always makes me cry,” one person wrote in the comments.
Another user added, “I haven’t stopped crying” after watching the clip, while adding that Ballerini is “the best.”
“She’s the purest soul,” someone else chimed in.
Another fan declared, “We made the right person famous.”
