Kelsea Ballerini released her fourth studio album, “Subject to Change” Sept. 23, shortly after the country superstar announced her split with fellow country singer Morgan Evans. The last album Ballerini released was her 2020 album “Kelsea.” She posted on Instagram sharing her feelings about the album’s release and how proud she is of the work she put into it. “if I’m honest, growing up it kinda hurts like hell…and for me, it sounds like this. internal observations, drunken conversations, diehard friendships, jumping in hopeful, owning the cringe, doing my best, discovering the good stuff isn’t always grandiose, falling on my face, being a show pony, taking inventory of what i have…and ultimately welcoming change when it comes,” Ballerini wrote on her Instagram post. “i’m proud of this record and the story it tells,” she continued. “here’s my last two years, and here’s the turning of a page. SUBJECT TO CHANGE IS OUT NOW.” KELSEA BALLERINI WEARS SHANIA TWAIN’S ICONIC 1999 GRAMMY DRESS TO ACM HONORS The new album features 15 songs, including “Love is a Cowboy,” “Heartfirst,” “Marilyn” and “You’re Drunk, Go Home,” which features Kelly Clarkson and Carly Pearce. Ballerini spoke with Yahoo! Entertainment about how personal “Subject to Change” is for her. “Obviously, we’ve all changed a lot the last couple of years, because life has forced us to. … And I feel like the last few years, in my twenties, I’ve grown up so much,” Ballerini said. “I’ve learned so much about myself in this extra space that we’ve kind of been forced into. And I loved that ‘Subject to Change’ represented my life. It represented everyone’s life, and it kind of thematically took me through the story that I was writing.” She also talked about her process of making the album and trying to decide how personal she wanted it to be. “We just kind of went back and forth, like, ‘Do we make it broad, or do we just make it like very much so about me?’ And we ended up just going very inward, very personal, to set the tone for the whole record.” Ballerini went through a huge life change before the release of the album when she got divorced after nearly five years of marriage. Ballerini and Evans announced their split in August.
