Kelsea Balleriniis having quite the week.
Ballerini, 29, filled fans in on her busy Tuesday while performing at the Grand Ole Opry, and shared some life updates after singing her song “If You Go Down (I’m Goin' Down Too).”
“This is what’s going on, there’s… in my last song [I sing], ‘There’s no judgment or keeping score,'” she said on stage. “The truth is that this morning I started my day at the courthouse finalizing my divorce and then getting nominated for a Grammy, and then getting the keys to my dream home, and now standing in the circle of the Opry.”
She continued: “And s—, if that ain’t country music, I don’t know what is.”
The “Heartfirst” singer later shared a clip of her chat with the audience to her Instagram Story, writing, “if country music is the truth of life, here’s mind. What a damn day.”
On the same day they finalized their split, Ballerini was nominated for best country solo performance at the Grammys for “Heartfirst.”
She shared a video of her finding out about the nod to Instagram, in which she screamed with excitement while out with friends and wiped away happy tears.
Ballerini later shared a video of her telling her dog about her nomination to her Instagram Story, and joked he was “forever unimpressed.”
The star announced her split from Evans in August, calling it a “deeply difficult decision” that was “the result of a journey of love, growth and effort that has ultimately come to an end.”
