Kelsea Ballerini<\/strong><\/a> is rolling up the welcome mat on the year 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree hundred and sixty five days,\u201d Ballerini, 30, began in her Instagram<\/a> post on Sunday, December 31. \u201cShouting on stages and them finally shouting back. Letting skin replace sequins. Sleepless nights rendering new dreams, in a little new old house with defiantly pink walls.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cHalf of My Hometown\u201d singer shared a black and white photo of her sipping a cup of coffee as she sat at a table in front of the Eiffel Tower. Ballerini posed in a robe with her hair wrapped up in a towel and a pair of sunglasses.<\/p>\n

In her lengthy caption, Ballerini wrote about getting advice from a chef to \u201chonor the taste of the ocean\u201d as well as \u201clearning the damn difference\u201d between \u201cstretching for height, not contorting for approval.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSome of country music\u2019s greatest songs are about heartbreak \u2014 and the relationships that inspired them can be just as dramatic. Shania Twain learned that firsthand when her husband of 15 years, Robert \u201cMutt\u201d Lange, had an affair with her former personal assistant, Marie-Anne Thi\u00e9baud, in May 2008. The pair called it quits following the [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cFollowing the breadcrumbs of life to the next right thing, still sometimes getting it wrong,\u201d she continued. \u201cStill sometimes getting it right. Crying. So much crying. Stained cheeks in front of strangers, guttural exhales to those safest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ballerini reflected on \u201chealing the past and falling in love in the present happening in lockstep,\u201d adding that they are \u201cunabashedly existing in the art of starting over.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cResenting airports and home on wheels, exhaustion outweighing presence, guilt for knowing my luck should override it all,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThen getting to 2:13 of track three mid set and waking back up. Every time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cHole in the Bottle\u201d singer noted that she\u2019s \u201cpaying less attention to the fit of the jeans, respecting the life that happens to make them a big snug or gapped at the waist.\u201d She added that she\u2019s \u201cwriting music like nothing is off limits, earning my artistic freedom,\u201d and \u201cnever letting that paint dry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLeaving his boots by the front door to let me know he\u2019s coming back to me,\u201d she concluded. \u201cI\u2019m coming back to me too. Three hundred and sixty five days\u2026Happy new year\u2019s eve, friends. stay safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
