Kelsea Ballerini has made headlines more than once for stopping her shows across the past year and setting fans straight when it comes to a disturbing trend, and she has obviously had just about enough of it.
What’s it all about?
Well, it all comes back to her former marriage to Morgan Evans, and several of her hit songs which deal with that relationship. Fans he seen those songs as an opportunity to either let Ballerini know they are on her side in that break up or, per Taste of Country, one fan in Australia yelled out “Team Morgan” following her performance of “Penthouse” over the weekend.
Ballerini reportedly stopped the show and replied to that audience member, “Team everyone’s happy,” but she then shared the video to her Instagram stories and took it a step further.
“Respectfully, it anyone yells anything disrespectful to anyone during this song again, it will no longer be on the set list,” she wrote.
Ballerini has been clear on the issue for some time.
She told Variety that a fan at a show wanted her to autograph divorce papers, and she declined. While singing songs off the “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat,” album, fans often find ways to take digs at Evans. And she opened up with Variety about an incident at one of her February shows where she was singing “Penthouse.”
As she was singing, fans began to chant “(Expletive) you Morgan.”
“Guys, you he to stop saying that,” she said shaking her head during that incident. “Seriously. We are three years past it. Everything is fine now. I sing this song for you now. It’s not about me anymore. Please. Please.
“Alright, for everyone that is moving forward with their life, will you sing this with me?”
