Kelsea Ballerini — Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (Smoke)

Clear Smoke Vinyl EP

On February 13, 2023, Ballerini announced the release of Rolling Up The Welcome Mat as a surprise, coinciding with Valentine's Day. The following month she sang two songs from the album, “Blindsided” and “Penthouse,” on Saturday Night Live. The release of the EP was accompanied by a 20-minute short film acting as a visual album for the EP, written by Ballerini and co-directed by Patrick Tracy. The film portrays a woman, played by Ballerini, going through the stages of grief and acceptance to the end of a marriage and an impending divorce.
