Kelsea Ballerini had all of Us fooled with her Live on Tour wig.

Ballerini, 31, took to TikTok on Thursday, April 17, to share that her flowing blonde locks that she rocks on stage is actually a wig. In the clip, her hairstylist, Brittany Leslie, ran a Q-tip along her hairline to loosen the glue and tugged on the mane after she performed.

Once the wig was removed from Ballerini’s head, fans caught a glimpse of her cap, which was pinned over French plaits. Leslie then unbraided Ballerini’s hair and cleaned the rest of the glue off her face. The duo hugged each other before the singer went in with makeup remover wipes and took off her glam, which included blue eyeshadow, long lashes, foundation, rose-colored cheeks and pink lips.

Ballerini concluded the video by blowing the camera a kiss.
