Kelsea Ballerini pays tribute to victims of Nashville shooting with moving CMT Music Awards intro.

Kelsea Ballerini opened the CMT Music Awards ceremony on Sunday with a moving tribute to the victims of last week’s shooting at Nashville’s Covenant School in Tennessee. “On March 27, 2023, three nine-year-olds – Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney and Hallie Scruggs, along with Katherine Koonce, Cynthia Peak and Mike Hill walked into the Covenant School and didn’t walk out,” Ballerini solemnly said right at the top of the show.

The attack was the deadliest school shooting in nearly a year. Ballerini also spoke of her own personal experience having witnessed a classmate die in a shooting at her Knoxville, Tennessee high school. “I wanted to personally stand up here and share this moment because on August 21, 2008, I watched Ryan McDonald, my 15-year-old classmate at Central High School, lose his life to a gun in our cafeteria.

Very well said

I didn't watch it. Did she mention the killer was a bitter man dressed as a woman?

Nothing though for the 3,000+ still dying a day of covid. Covid is a leading cause of death in kids KelseaBallerini

Just tell us the truth.

the story is on CNN and she's from the entertainment industry was she paying tribute to the Christians killed or to the trans murderer?

3 children were murdered in cold blood

Let me guess. She didn’t sing a tribute to the girl who killed little kids.

Country music still sucks.

We need to also acknowledge the LGBTQIA+ community, who are the real victims of this tragedy.

Democrats right now
