Yahoo Lifestyle Kelsea Ballerini Pauses Show to Ask Fans to Stop Insulting Her Ex, Morgan Evans
Kelsea Ballerini has moved on from her relationship with Morgan Evans and would like everyone else to as well, tyvm.
While performing "Penthouse" (which is about her divorce from Morgan), the Grammy nominee was in the middle of the line “It hurts putting shit in a box / And now we don’t talk,” when someone in the crowd interrupted with “Fuck him.” She ended up singing a few more lyrics before stopping the song and telling fans, "Guys, we have to stop saying that. Seriously. We're three years passed it. Everything's fine now. I sing the song for you now, it’s not about me anymore. Please. Please." She added, “Alright. For everyone that’s moving forward with their lives, will you sing this with me?"
Kelsea and Morgan got married in 2017 and split in 2022. She announced the news on Instagram Stories, writing in part, “I’ve always tried to share my life with you in a real and vulnerable way, while also protecting layers of my personal life as they unfold. This is now public record so I wanted you to hear from me directly that I am going through a divorce.” Meanwhile, Morgan shared “I am very sad to confirm that after almost 5 years of marriage, Kelsea and I are parting ways. I wish it were otherwise but sadly it is not.”
Kelsea is now in a (very cute) relationship with Outer Banks star Chase Stokes. But Check out the lyrics to "Penthouse" (via Genius) if you wanna read into things:
We moved to a place with a view off of Eighth Avenue after we said "I do"
And we watched cars of bachelorettes, 2 a.m. cigarettes, and traffic headed downtown
And the interstate was so loud, there was a lot it had to drown out
We played the part five nights, but we were never there on the weekends, baby
We got along real nice, but when I left town, did you hate me?
One day, the curtain started coming down
I changed the second we were moving out
I guess wrong can look alright
When you're playing home in a penthouse, baby
I bought the house with a fence, enough room for some kids, a backyard for Dibs
And I thought that would make it all better, and maybe forever wouldn't feel like the walls closing in
'Cause how does that even make sense?
Now that I think about it, it never did
We played the part five nights, but we were never there on the weekends, baby
We got along real nice, but when I left town, did you hate me?
One day, the curtain started coming down
You changed the second we were moving out
I guess wrong can look alright
When you're playing home in a penthouse, baby
'Cause we were playing home in a penthouse, baby
It hurts putting shit in a box
And now we don't talk
And it stings rolling up the welcome mat
Knowing you got half
I kissed someone new last night
But now I don't know where you're sleeping, baby
We got along real nice, until I wanted out, now I know you hate me
One day, the curtain started coming down
We changed the second we were moving out
I guess wrong can look alright
When you're playing home in a penthouse, baby
Oh, we were playing home in a penthouse, baby, hmm
I just bought the house that we saw
You said it was wrong
I wanted it all along
