Making a change. Amid Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans’ ongoing divorce, the nation songstress has tweaked a number of of her lyrics.
While crooning “What I Have” throughout a Saturday, September 24, live performance in New York City, the 29-year-old performer switched up the phrases.
“I got my own body in bed, doing all right,” she sang on Saturday, per footage captured by concertgoer Rachael Ellenbogen, a reporter for The Sun. Ballerini’s authentic lyrics initially included the phrase, “I got a warm body in bed,” seemingly referring to her then-husband.
The Tennessee native’s lyrics swaps didn’t cease there as she modified “I’m the crazy ex that wrecked your life” to “I’m the crazy bitch that wrecked your life” throughout her rendition of “Get Over Yourself.”
Both modifications have been met with a roar of applause from the followers at Radio City Music Hall.
Ballerini’s new lyrics subtly reference her divorce from the 37-year-old Australia native, whom she introduced her break up from final month.

“Friends, I’ve always tried my best to share my life with you in a real and vulnerable way, while also protecting layers of my personal life as they unfold,” the “Hole in the Bottle” songstress wrote by way of her Instagram Story on August 29. “This is now public record so I wanted you to hear from me directly that I am going through a divorce.”
She continued on the time: “This deeply difficult decision is the result of a journey of love, growth, and effort that ultimately has come to an end. 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. With very active schedules coming up, please be mindful that we are both fragile, actively healing, and showing up the best we can.”
Evans, for his half, broke his silence on their separation a number of hours later.
“I am very sad to confirm that after almost 5 years of marriage, Kelsea and I are parting ways,” the “Day Drunk” singer wrote on the time. “I wish it were otherwise but sadly it is not.”
Us Weekly later confirmed that Ballerini — who wed Evans in December 2017 — had filed for divorce one week earlier, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the break up.
As the twosome navigated their altering relationship, the “Peter Pan” artist referenced their ongoing divorce in her newest album, Subject to Change, which dropped on Friday, September 23.
“2020 was a weird year / Album dropped at a weird time / Ain’t the homecoming queen, but better believe I cried / And therapy for one turned / Into therapy for two,” she sang on her “Doin My Best” monitor. “When you get married that young, you got a lotta s–t you gotta get through.”
