Kelsea Ballerini resides unapologetically on tour.
The “Cowboys Cry Too” singer, 31, stopped a latest live performance to scold followers for cursing out her ex-husband, Morgan Evans, 39.
The second got here when Ballerini carried out her tune “Penthouse” Firday on the Laborious Rock Stay in Hollywood, Florida.
Featured on her 2023 EP “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat,” the tune is broadly believed to be about her 2022 divorce from the Australian nation crooner and contains the strains, “It hurts putting s–t in a box / And now we don’t talk / And it stings rolling up the welcome mat / Knowing you got half.”
It was after Ballerini, who’s on tour to assist her new album “Patterns,” sang, “You got half,” and paused that followers apparently shouted, “F–k you, Morgan,” drawing Ballerini’s ire.
“Guys, we have to stop saying that,” the “Peter Pan” singer informed concertgoers, as seen in a video posted on TikTok.
“Seriously, we’re three years past it, everything’s fine now,” she added, referring to her five-year marriage to Evans. “I sing the song for you now, it’s not about me anymore, please.”
With the group cheering her on, Ballerini continued, “Alright, for everyone that’s moving forward with their life, will you sing this with me?”
The feedback part of the TikTok video lit up with assist for Ballerini.
“For everyone who doesn’t know- people say ‘F You Morgan’ during the pause,” one particular person defined. “She has asked multiple times for people to stop. She is healed and wants to move on.”
One other applauded the singer, writing, “So classy of her to call someone out she’s over it.”
Others expressed concern that Ballerini would take away the tune from her setlist if followers continued to shout the obscenity.
“Listen to MOTHER,” somebody commented. “Or she’s gonna remove it from the setlist and y’all are gonna ruin it for every one else. She deserves for us to respect her wishes!”
The shout is outwardly so frequent it could possibly even be heard within the reside model of “Penthouse” featured on Ballerini’s prolonged model of “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat.”
One signal the star has clearly moved on: she appears very a lot in love with boyfriend Chase Stokes.
Rumors started to swirl in January 2023 that she and the “Outer Banks” star have been romantically concerned. They confirmed their relationship once they went red-carpet official on the CMT Awards in April of that 12 months.
Just lately, Ballerini and Stokes have been seen singing alongside to Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” on the Grammy Awards.
Ballerini’s subsequent present is scheduled for Wednesday on the Dickies Area in Fort Price, Texas. Her tour will then head to Seattle, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Kansas Metropolis and Pittsburgh earlier than wrapping April 13 on the Scotiabank Area in Toronto.
