It's been more than a year since Kelsea Ballerini and her ex-husband Morgan Evans shocked fans when their divorce was confirmed, but it appears that the female singer is ready to move on to the next chapter of her music, which revolved around her separation based on her latest EP, but before completely leaving that era of her career, she would perform an emotional song for the last time.
According to Taste of Country, the musician will be siging her song "Leave Me Again" at the 2023 CMA Awards tomorrow evening. The song is the last track in her project "Rolling Up the Welcome Mat."
She told the outlet: "The whole record is like a journey - it's like an emotional journey - and the ending, 'Leave Me Again,' is like the song that's resolution. It's closure and it's peace. And that's where I'm at in my life now."
Ballerini further added that she's excited to end this chapter of her music with that song because it feels like a "full circle" as she would close the door and open up another one.
