Priscilla Block Gets Real About Getting Sick After CMA Fest and the Reality of Life on Tour

Priscilla Block has never been one to sugarcoat things, and her latest social media update is proof of that.

The North Carolina native recently got candid with fans about the less glamorous side of life on the road, revealing that a packed CMA Fest schedule left her feeling exhausted and under the weather.

“The level of exhaustion at this current moment in time? Very high,” she admitted.

While getting ready for a show, Block opened up about the reality of touring and the challenges artists often face behind the scenes.

“I truly feel like not enough people talk about this. Well, maybe they do whenever they do their documentary down the road, you see the craziness of touring, the behind the scenes of artists losing their mind,” she said. “There are days where it’s just kind of hard.”

Block went on to reveal that she got “pretty sick” after CMA Fest, where she packed in multiple appearances and performances throughout the week.

“My fever finally broke yesterday, but I’ve had a super sore throat, fever-ish, achy all day today. I literally slept till 1:50. I’ve just been trying to take it easy. I got a show tonight and tomorrow. But yeah, I think the hardest part, I guess, of touring is when you’re not feeling good, but you have to just dig deep, find that energy.”

Fortunately, she says her fans help provide the boost she needs to push through.

“And the good thing is, I feel like y’all always give me energy that I don’t have at shows. When the crowd is super hype, I feel like it fuels me,” she shared. “But I feel good enough to go out there. I’m so excited. I’ve already seen so many people out there. It’s nights like these that they’re a little scary because as an artist, you never want to cancel a show. So then you give it and you push and then you hope the next day you don’t have to suffer the consequences of that. There’s so much that goes into putting on a show and bringing the energy and your vocal ability, being where it needs to be. It’s kind of insane.”
