Kelsea Ballerini stops concert midway to school fans

Kelsea Ballerini's song 'Penthouse' features lyrics about her moving on after the relationship with her ex-husband ended, and fans were passionately singing along to the emotional lyrics of the song's bridge, "It hurts putting s**t in a box / And now we don't talk / And it stings rolling up the welcome mat / Knowing you got half," reported People.

Interestingly, in a viral TikTok clip that was taken by a fan during the concert, the singer paused when fans screamed obscenities after the "you got half" line and said, "Guys, we have to stop saying that."

As per the comments section of the clip, some fans shouted profanities aimed at Evans during the post-lyric pause, according to the outlet.

Ballerini, who filed for divorce from Evans in August 2022 after nearly five years of marriage, said during the pause, "Seriously, we’re three years past it, everything’s fine now."

The singer then said, "I sing the song for you now, it’s not about me anymore, please. Alright, for everyone that’s moving forward with their life, will you sing this with me?"

The singer's next show is at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas on Wednesday, February 26, and will be making stops in cities including Seattle, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and others.

Notably, she will wrap the tour on April 13 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

Ballerini is currently with actor Chase Stokes and they first sparked dating rumors in January 2023 before they went public with their romance on the CMT Awards red carpet in April 2023, per People.

Kelsea Ballerini currently dating Chase Stokes

Kelsea Ballerini is currently with actor Chase Stokes and they first sparked dating rumors in January 2023 before they went public with their romance on the CMT Awards red carpet in April 2023, per People.

During a recent interview with Byrdie about date nights with Stokes, Ballerini said that staying in is just as special as glamorous outings.

She said, "Things that seem mundane suddenly become like, 'OK, you’re such an important part of my mundanity now.' And it doesn’t take away from the moments that are big, like getting to show up to a premiere for him or him being at Madison Square Garden."

Notably, Ballerini announced her divorce from ex-husband Evans in August 2022 via an Instagram Story.

She wrote in the all-text message, "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."

Ballerini told CBS Mornings in October 2022 about what led to her divorce, according to US Weekly. She said, "I think when there’s a big life decision like that, it’s not a sudden one. And there’s a lot that happens before that becomes public. So, I’m on my, like, active healing journey."

The singer continued, "It’s not, like, volatile [between us], it just didn’t work, and that sometimes is, like, a difficult narrative to get your head around when you’re like, 'Oh, my gosh. This is a good person. And I’m a good person. And this is just no longer good anymore.'"
