Kelsea Ballerini releases new EP + short film “Rolling Up The Welcome Mat”

GRAMMY-nominated artist, Kelsea Ballerini, has released a brand new EP and short film today on Valentine’s Day. Out now – listen/watch here.

Rolling Up The Welcome Mat is a six song story and short film, written and directed by Kelsea herself.

Teasing the project on Instagram, the short film shows Kelsea dealing with the breakdown of a relationship.

Kelsea says: “Here’s my healing journey. Here’s my heart. Here’s my truth. I’ve never been this open, I’ve never been this bold, and I’ve never been this proud of my art. So with love and respect, I’m rolling up the welcome mat. Six song story and short film out now. Happy Valentine’s Day.”

This new reflective work comes ahead of her UK tour dates, which sold out in just a day. She plays Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and finishes the tour at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Saturday 25^th February. Date/venue info below.

Kelsea is an internationally celebrated artist and one of the most influential female artists in country music right now. The new EP follows her highly anticipated fourth album SUBJECT TO CHANGE released just last year. Reaching Number 1 in the UK Country Albums chart, the record includes 2023 GRAMMY-nominated single ‘HEARTFIRST’, plus ‘IF YOU GO DOWN (I’M GOIN’ DOWN TOO)’, ‘THE LITTLE THINGS’, and ‘YOU’RE DRUNK, GO HOME’ featuring Kelly Clarkson and Carly Pearce.
