Kelsea Ballerini has been so busy lately. During her set at Grand Ole Opry, she shared what she has been up to in the past couple of hours prior to her performance.

"This is what's going on, there's... in my last song [I sing], 'There's no judgment or keeping score,'" she told her fans. The truth is that this morning I started my day at the courthouse finalizing my divorce and then getting nominated for a Grammy, and then getting the keys to my dream home, and now standing in the circle of the Opry."

Fans cheered her on as they knew that the singer has been through a lot for the past couple of months following her nasty divorce from Morgan Evans.

"And s**t, if that ain't country music, I don't know what is," she continued jokingly.

The country star was at the Grand Ole Opry, where she performed "Heartfirst," the very song that she was nominated a Grammy Award for under the Country Solo Performance category.

"The song about following your heart no matter where it leads just for nominated for a GRAMMY. couldn't be more cosmic," she once shared in an Instagram post.

The post showed a video of herself cheering following the announcement of her nomination. "Here's to always jumping right in baby with your 'heartfirst.'"

Cherry on Top

The news of Ballerini's success comes months after her devastating divorce from Evans.

According to Us Weekly, their marriage has been falling apart for quite some time now, and the couple even tried to save it by going to therapy, but to no avail.

A source told the publication that that couple "ultimately decided that they had no choice but to officially separate."

After filing for divorce in August, news of the pair coming to a settlement regarding came to light.

The reason why Ballerini was so excited to get the keys to her new "dream home" was because she and Morgan decided to both "vacate their marital residence" in Nashville.

However, while her love life might seem bleak at the moment, Ballerini has set her sights on bigger and better things. Her career is flourishing and she is on the mend.

"I think when there's a big life decision like that, it's not a sudden one," she said in an interview with CBS Mornings in October. "And there's a lot that happens before that becomes public. So, I'm on my, like, active healing journey."
