The 2020 ACM Awards were supposed to take place on April 5, but when the show was postponed, many of the artists performed from their homes instead. Kelsea was included in the lineup, and she stunned with her rendition of her song, “Homecoming Queen?” The 26-year-old actually released her latest album, Kelsea, in March, right at the start of quarantine regulations being put in place.
