“I’m so disappointed I will not be at the show, but it might help me cheer up a little bit if you are going to send me videos and photos,” Alaina wrote. “Please go to the show tonight and celebrate my friends Jon Pardi, Jordan Davis, Travis Denning and Priscilla Block. Thanks to WAMZ and WBUL for understanding so much.”
After posting the statement, the singer “Getting Good” opened up about her symptoms in her Instagram story. “Thank you for all the wishes,” she says in a video in which she was curled up on the couch with her dog.
“I rest and try to feel a little better. Some people feel worse than I do – I just have a little shortness of breath, a very bad headache, no taste or smell, a very bad congestion and I feel pretty tired,” he said. Alaina explains.
“But I generally feel it’s going to be okay,” she concluded, before looking at the camera at her dog and adding, “and I have this sweet nurse!”
