Kelsea Ballerini is opening up about the moment a member of her medical team recognized her during an uncomfortable procedure.
The “We Broke Up” singer sat down on the Overheard Happy Hour podcast, where she was asked about the “strangest place” she’s ever been recognized.
“A couple years ago, I had to get a colonoscopy,” she admitted, clearing her throat awkwardly as she brought up the seemingly awkward memory. “They were about to do the anesthesia and they’re like, ‘Count down from 10.’”

“I started counting down,” she continued, “and one of the guys in the room just goes, ‘By the way, I really love that song you have with Kenny Chesney.’”

Ballerini was part of the way through the countdown at that point and mimicked falling over as she verbalized, “eight, seven, six,” while a filter over the video distorted her image like the start of a dream sequence in a television show.
“HIPAA, hello!?” she added jokingly, as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act prevents professionals involved in her care from sharing her protected medical information with unauthorized parties—not from acknowledging her fame.
“I can’t believe I just shared my colonoscopy story,” she added at the end of the interview clip, which was uploaded to TikTok on Thursday, March 27.
