Kelsea Ballerini Shuts Down Fans for Disrespecting Ex Morgan Evans at Concert

Kelsea Ballerini is ready to do-si-do beyond her past relationships.

During her performance in Hollywood, Florida on February 23rd, the singer of “Cowboys Cry Too” paused to speak to the audience who were spontaneously singing altered lyrics about her former spouse, Morgan Evans.

In the rendition of her song “Penthouse,” which appears to touch upon her past relationship with Morgan (divorced in 2022), Kelsea expressed, “It’s painful to pack away memories / Now we hardly communicate / It’s painful rolling up the welcome mat / Knowing you possess half.

However, following a brief interlude in the melody, an audience member posted online that some individuals utilized this moment to spew vulgarities at Morgan. In response, Kelsea criticized such uncalled-for language.

Hello there! As a wellness advocate, I feel compelled to address something that’s been lingering. It’s been three years since that moment, and we’ve moved forward. Let’s leave the past behind and embrace the present, for it’s not about me anymore. So, let’s sing a new tune together, a song of growth, understanding, and unity. Let’s focus on creating a better future for all.

During that part, it wasn’t evident what the crowd was chanting, but a user pointed out that they often sing “F You Morgan.” This phrase has been used before, and Morgan herself has requested it to cease multiple times. It’s important to note that she is now healed and wishes to move past this.

Following a gentle reprimand from the audience, Kelsea extended an invitation for them to continue the song with her, saying, “For all those who are embarking on new journeys, care to join me in singing this along?

Kelsea has consistently chosen to interpret the lyrics of “Penthouse,” but it’s not a new approach for her when dealing with this breakup song. In fact, at the age of 31 and having made her relationship with Chase Stokes public in 2023, she has revised some of the initial verses since its release in February 2023.

At an August concert, Kelsea slightly altered the lyrics of a song, singing “I kissed someone new last night / Yet now I’m indifferent about where you lay your head, sweetheart,” instead of “Yet now I’m unsure about where you lay your head, sweetheart.” This change hints that she has moved on from her heartbreak. In the same year, she re-released this song with the addition of “(Revised Edition)” to its title.

Ever since the healing period following their separation in 2022, Kelsea, who was previously wedded to Morgan for five years, has been candid about the happiness she experiences in her relationship with Stokes.

In October, she shared with TopMob News that she was content, adding, “Everything seems to be unfolding as it ought to.

Kelsea’s attention is primarily on the present, but it doesn’t mean she rules out the possibility of getting married to the star from “Outer Banks” in the future.

She noted, “I’m always open to reconsidering anything I’ve ruled out in the past. Things I once thought ‘no’ to, I’ve ended up testing myself on again.

They finally had their initial face-to-face encounter on January 7, 2023, a day she now regards as their special occasion.

Later on, Kelsea recounted during an interview on Call Her Daddy in November 2023, “He abruptly exited his truck without saying a thing to me. He then approached me, grabbed my face, kissed me, released me, and said, ‘Thank goodness you’re real.’

Their romance blossomed after that first DM, which Kelsea shared in September 2023.

In the music video for her song titled “How Do I Do This,” a tune that explores the experience of going on a first date after a long time, Kelsea chose to style her appearance based on the lyrics.

“Here’s the look, with the boots” Kelsea said while checking herself out in a full-length mirror.

As she twisted around to display her stylish half-up, half-down hairdo, she commented, “We’ve opted for a hair clip – it gives off a chic and trendy vibe, you know?

She carried on talking to someone undisclosed, detailing, “He will be coming to get me, and we are heading to a sushi restaurant. I’ll phone you tomorrow with all the details.

With a deep exhale and an uplifted hand, she declared, “I’ve got this! I’ve got this!
