Kelsea Ballerini is opening up about the time she got slammed on Twitter after she slammed Morgan Wallen for using a racial slur. In the song “Doin’ My Best” from the singer’s “Subject to Change” album, Ballerini seemingly explains the well-intended tweet. “Sometimes I try to say the right thing / And it comes out wrong,” she sings. “And Twitter kicked my a**, now it’s one less app on my iPhone.”
The country songstress went into greater detail about the experience during an interview with Yahoo!, where she emphasized the importance of standing up for her beliefs. “I’ve really had to learn how to stand up for things that I believe in. But sometimes when you’re doing that, you’re going to stumble and you’re going to do it wrong,” she said. Ballerini has not been active on Twitter since the incident occurred, but explained that she has taken some time to educate herself on the systemic issues within the country music genre. She added, “I stepped back, I listened, I learned … I got my a** kicked, and I learned a lot from it.”
