In a recent Q&A on Instagram, when asked what fans could do for Kelsea, the singer responded, saying, "If I had one favor, it would be honoring that I'm trying to make my personal life personal for now." If you didn't get the message from that one, I'm not sure what to tell you.
However, it seems like some people are still Hellbent on reopening old wounds, especially when it comes to Ballerini's past relationships.
At a show in Australia this week, Ballerini was singing her song "Penthouse", which is notably about her ex-husband, Morgan Evans. In light of recent events, a fan in the crowd thought it would be funny to shout out "Team Morgan!" in the middle of the song. It seems like Kelsea didn't find the sentiment the least bit laughable.
Her response? "F*** off," said the country singer, as recorded in a TikTok video. "Team everyone's happy."
Kelsea Ballerini Threatens Setlist Changes After Australia Concert
Kelsea Ballerini filed for divorce from Morgan Evans in 2022, after what she described as years of couples therapy and separations. In January 2023, she started dating Chase Stokes after sliding into his Instagram DMs. Then, in September of this year, Ballerini called it quits with the Outer Banks star, with sources citing frequent arguments between the couple and communication struggles.
"They're two adults who gave it their all and tried to do everything they could to make it work, but ultimately couldn't. It happens," a source told People.
On Instagram, Kelsea chose to remind her fans once again where she stands on her privacy following the "Penthouse" moment. The singer reposted that video to her story and said that if people keep being disrespectful, some setlist changes might be in order.
"Respectfully, if anyone yells anything disrespectful to anyone during this song again, it will no longer be on the set list," she shared. "Please let this be a song that matters to people and not a place to insert yourself into a world that doesn't exist and was never yours to begin with. Team everyone's happy or bust. Please."
