ROLLING UP THE WELCOME MAT

Rolling Up the Welcome Mat is the second extended play (EP) by American country pop singer Kelsea Ballerini. The intimate, six-song collection doesn't explicitly mention her marriage and 2022 divorce from fellow artist Morgan Evans, but it's clear those life-altering events have shaped these songs in numerous ways. In a song called "Just Married," she notes, "It felt like forever that December 2," her and Evans' real-life wedding date, while "Penthouse" makes mention of shared living space on 8th Avenue and having to separate household items. By the EP's end, she's wishing the other person well, but giving herself a gentle reminder to never lose track of who she is again.
