Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes: Romance Rewind

Rolling Up The Welcome Mat, which tells the story behind her divorce from ex Morgan Evans, was released back in February.

As Kelsea explained at the time, the six-song EP was she "processed" the breakup from Morgan.

"It's the way I got my feelings out of my body and heart and put them to music," she shared, "which is the purest way I could've handled it."

Kelsea announced her split from the "Kiss Somebody" singer in Aug. 2022 after almost five years of marriage.

"This deeply difficult decision is the result of a journey of love, growth, and effort that ultimately has come to an end," Kelsea, who tied the knot with Morgan in Dec. 2017, wrote on her Instagram Story at the time. "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."
