Kelsea Ballerini Is Ready to Roll Up the Welcome Mat for Good with an Expanded Version of Her Heartbreaking EP

This comes after the singer released her new six-song EP titled Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good) last week, an extended version to Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, which she released on Valentine’s Day. 

In a statement, she described Rolling Up the Welcome Mat as the next chapter of her latest album, 2022’s SUBJECT TO CHANGE, and noted that the six additional songs came about through her writing therapeutically through dark moments.

“These are six songs I wish I had last year. It’s about the complexities of the feelings you go through during a massive shift at a young age,” she said of the project. “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat was how I processed everything. It’s the way I got my feelings out of my body and heart and put them to music — which is the purest way I could’ve handled it.”

Several of the songs from the album referenced Ballerini’s divorce from fellow country singer Morgan Evans, which was finalized in November.

However, the singer has moved on after confirming she was dating the Outer Banks star on the Call Her Daddy podcast. in February. The pair recently hit the six-month mark in their relationship, which Ballerini has said has been “great” thus far.

“We’re very similar. We’re both Labrador Retrievers in human form,” she said in an interview with Stylecaster in early July. “It doesn’t take much conversation to be on the same page, which is nice.”
