Kelsea Ballerini’s divorce from Morgan Evans was finalized last year, as she details things in her new short film “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat.” However, through her new project, she intends to shine a light on the real reasons why it did not work.
Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans were going on five years as a power couple (they were together for seven years in total) before the singer pulled the plug on their marriage.
Last year, the “Unapologetically” singer released a shocking statement regarding their seemingly perfect marriage— she was “going through a divorce.” Following the announcement of Kelsea Ballerini’s divorce, she appealed to the public to help them heal by giving them the privacy needed.
But along the line, the pair saw the need to confront the news and reference their divorce. Evans sighted their split at the CMC Rocks QLD Festival, where he used himself as an inspiration for a song.
Ballerini also noted that the divorce was behind, and it was time to be hopeful for a better future. She did not shy away from the divorce in interviews. She told CBS Mornings, “a big life decision like that, it’s not a sudden one.”
Four months after that expression, fans will get to see things through her eyes and understand how Kelsea Ballerini’s divorce came about in her new short film.
Kelsea Ballerini’s Divorce From Morgan Evans Addressed in “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat”
Kelsea Ballerini’s short film titled “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat” was released simultaneously with her 6-track EP. Without mincing words, Ballerini mentioned that her short film is the next chapter of 2022’s album “SUBJECT TO CHANGE.”
The star reflected on how she pieced the album together, revealing that it bore “self-reflection and turmoil.” According to the singer, her passion for writing music as a teenager was fueled by her parent’s divorce.
The “Mountain With a View” star confessed that she wished there were more songs on her latest album. But with this new project, she is confident her music embeds the emotions it intends to let out.
Truly, from the track titles to Kelsea Ballerini’s short film, they all have lyrics seasoned specifically to address her failed marriage. The songs include, “Just Married,” “Blindsided,” “Leave Me Again,” “Interlude,” “Penthouse,” and “Mountain With a View.”
Amid the shattered emotions conveyed in the tunes, the Grammy nominee conveys her message of finding self-worth and an unwillingness to compromise.
