This past March, TODAY Show co-host Hoda Kotb featured Kelsea Ballerini’s breakthrough hit “Love Me Like You Mean It” on her “iHoda Playlist.”
At the time, hints emerged that Ballerini would ultimately perform on the show in support of her debut album “The First Time.”
That performance is now confirmed. Per NBC, the country singer-songwriter will perform on the Thursday, May 21 edition of the show.
As of press time, Ballerini is slated to perform during the 10AM-11AM hour of the show. The aforementioned Kotb co-hosts that portion alongside Kathie Lee.
Featuring “Love Me Like You Mean It,” album “The First Time” hits shelves on May 19.
