Telling her side of the story. Kelsea Ballerini delivered an emotional performance of two songs inspired by her split from Morgan Evans — and her updated lyrics included some major shade.
Ballerini, 29, sang “Blindsided” and “Penthouse” during her Saturday Night Live debut on Saturday, March 4, which addressed her breakup with Evans, 37. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out that the outro of the first track included an unexpected addition.
“Now you’re singing out loud on the radio. But you’re the only heart that breaks,” she sang. “You would’ve searched the whole world over. Yeah, sure. OK.”
The country singer’s appearance on Saturday Night Live comes after she recently opened up about the end of her marriage in the EP and an accompanying short film. Ballerini and Evans have both offered glimpses of their relationship through their music following their breakup.
In August 2022, the Tennessee native broke the news that she and Evans decided to part ways after nearly five years of marriage.
“Friends, I’ve always tried my best to share my life with you in a real and vulnerable way, while also protecting layers of my personal life as they unfold,” the singer wrote via her Instagram Story at the time. “This is now public record so I wanted you to hear from me directly that I am going through a divorce.”
She concluded: “This deeply difficult decision is the result of a journey of love, growth, and effort that ultimately has come to an end. It’s hard to find the words here … but I feel extremely grateful for the years of marriage to Morgan and hopeful for the next seasons. With very active schedules coming up, please be mindful that we are both fragile, actively healing, and showing up the best we can.”
