Kelsea Ballerini announced that she’s hosting three nights of screenings and intimate conversations about her short film, Under the Welcome Mat, based on the EP of the same name. In the wake of her split from ex-husband Morgan Evans, Ballerini released Under the Welcome Mat on Valentine’s Day in 2023, along with the accompanying short film.
Ballerini will make stops in Los Angeles, Nashville and New York this August, where fans can watch a screening of the film, followed by a conversation with the singer. She’ll appear in Los Angeles on August 1, followed by stops in Nashville on August 8 and New York on August 10.
Ballerini says in a press release: “Sometimes I write songs to figure out where I am, how I feel. I write to honor my feelings and get them out because that’s the purest way I know how. The purpose of this EP and short film was to release those very naked, honest feelings in hopes anyone feeling similar highs and lows would have a few songs to feel not alone to … Every step of this Rolling Up The Welcome Mat chapter has been a new experience, which you helped make feel not scary by being alongside me every step. Now, I need to move on now – and maybe you do, too – but before we do, these three events are all about being in one space, together, sharing all of it. I want to bring you deeper into how it all came to be and why you’re such an important piece of all of this. I want to say ‘thank you’ so, if you’re in Los Angeles, New York, or Nashville, please come join me.”
Tickets for the three events, titled “Under The Welcome Mat: Exclusive Rolling Up The Welcome Mat Short Film Screening & Conversation with Kelsea Ballerini,” are available at kelseaballerini.com.
