Kelsea Ballerini took some time on her Instagram to show fans what can gather in her purse during a five-week concert tour, and the results were pretty funny and quite personal.
Kelsea posted a video on Instagram sitting on her tour bus coach as the bus made its way down the highway. With her big black purse in hand, she started to empty it and guided fans through every item. In the clip, she said, "I'm gonna do a 'what's in my bag' after a very chaotic five weeks of travel, here we go..."
Some items she pulled out of her Mary Poppins-type endless bag were:
- Makeup wipes
- GoldFish crackers
- Fidget device for when she is on calls "for my ADHD."
- 2 bottles of perfume sample bottles
- Earrings a fan made her that she says she is "obsessed with."
- An RX bar
- 2 beauty blender sponges and a makeup brush
- 3 pairs of sunglasses
- An old phone that she carries with her if she loses her main phone
- Half of a phone charger with no plug
- 2 Tampons
- A nipple cover (she laughs when she pulls it out)
- Several different types of "writing utensils" (pens)
- Her Passport, which she did not pull out of the purse for fear of losing it
- A set of big silver hoop earrings
- Vocal ease spray
- Hairspray bottle
- Hand sanitizer
- A pile of random keys and lint
- A hairbrush which she laughed, saying it was "really bad" as it was full of her hair
- Nail polish
- Dramamine, which she joked she wished she had taken before this "bumpy ass bus ride."
Fans loved the reveal, with one fan commenting, "I just wanna know what kind of bag you have that has so much storage!! I need." Another fan observed, "A big bag full of secrets with no wallet, haha." One more fan reacted, "Pretty much you have one section of Target in your bag."
