Ball Arena confirmed the cancelation in a statement that said Moroney was “unable to continue” and that the venue would provide updates when available. Videos from concertgoers also showed that the “Tennessee Orange” singer addressed the crowd before announcing the show was over.“This is obviously the last thing I would ever want to do, but I’m obviously extremely sick,” Moroney said, according to multiple videos posted online. “I thought I did everything to make myself better and then obviously two songs in, I just can’t play this show tonight. I will make it up to you guys — I absolutely promise I’ll be back.” Moroney added that she wanted to give her fans the show they deserved before saying she would probably go back to cry in her dressing room. Her voice sounded hoarse and it seemed she was choking back tears as she apologized to the crowd. In a statement posted to her Instagram story, Moroney announced that the show would be rescheduled for August 27. Fans who are unable to make the new date would be given full refunds, according to NBC affiliate KUSA.“I never ever will give you guys a show that is not 100% and I knew that I was not capable of giving that to you tonight,” she wrote.
