Kelsea Ballerini calls out fan who shouted her ex’s name mid-performance

Kelsea Ballerini won’t take any disrespect during her shows.

The country singer was performing her song, “Penthouse,” at a recent concert in Sydney, Australia, when a fan shouted her ex-husband Morgan Evans’ name mid-performance.

“Team Morgan,” they can be heard yelling in video shared by fans online.

Ballerini was quick to respond, telling the concertgoer to “F—k off!”

She continued speaking to the crowd, saying, “Team everyone’s happy,” giving them a big thumbs up and then switching it to a middle finger.

“Penthouse” is one of several songs on her album, “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat” which was written, recorded, and released following her divorce from Morgan Evans, an Australian singer-songwriter.

The couple had been together for nearly five years before Ballerini filed for divorce in August of 2022, according to People. They had first met while co-hosting Australia’s CMC Awards in March 2016, became engaged that December, and married the following year.

“Penthouse” features lyrics like, “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.”

The so-called fan’s outburst prompted Kelsea to post on her Instagram story after the show, threatening to remove “Penthouse” from future performances if people keeping being rude.

“Respectfully, if anyone yells anything disrespectful to anyone during this song again, it will no longer be on the setlist,” she wrote, per Entertainment Weekly. “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.”

She added, “Team everyone’s happy or bust, please.”
