Tori Kelly Recalls Passing Out

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Tori Kelly remembers the time when she passed out while hanging out with her friends.

"It happened out of nowhere. I was feeling just a little tired throughout the day, and my heart rate was kind of high," she told the publication. "I was at dinner with my husband [André Murillo] and so thankful he was there because I ended up collapsing and was rushed to the hospital and they found blood clots."

Kelly was shocked by what transpired during the especially worrying moment as she had "no idea" of the existence of blood clots as she had no history of it whatsoever in her family. Up until today, it is still a mystery what caused Tori Kelly's clots.

"On one end, it was scary, and then on another end, I did feel this sense of unexplainable peace that it was gonna be OK," Kelly reflected. "I just felt like God had me and it was gonna be OK, but yeah, definitely in the midst of that it was just kind of a confusing whirlwind."

Fans grew worried at the time as her husband was intermittently posting updates on Instagram about her condition.

Reflecting on the situation at the time, Kelly had this to say: "That just made me even more grateful and not want to take a single moment for granted. Looking out in the audience and seeing all my amazing fans again has been keeping my spirits high."

Is Tori Kelly OK?

Since being released from the hospital, Kelly has assured her fans of her well-being.

"I'm feeling stronger now & hopeful but unfortunately there are still some things to uncover. I'm so grateful for the amazing doctors & nurses who have been looking after me," she said in a handwritten letter.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Tori Kelly gave an update about her health condition.

"It seems like blood clots are manageable with medication and blood thinner, so that's how I'm able to tour and kind of get back to my normal self," Kelly told the outlet. "But that's what I've learned so far is that it seems to be manageable with those."
