Following the criticsm of the performance, Bellerini took to Instagram the following day to post a picture that said, “After reading way too many comments, I’d like to remind people that there are different kinds of country music and none are more ‘real’ than others when it comes from an honest place, that women can wear whatever we want and shouldn’t be called names and criticized for it, and that if you don’t have something nice to say, politely shut up.”
Although some haters are not supportive of Bellerini, her husband, Morgan Evans, is always by her side.

They started to bond later that night when they went to the after party together.
Ballerini recalls of that night, "He was like, 'Let's take a shot, I remember taking that shot and putting it down and looking at him like, 'Oh...he's super hot.' Later that night he leaned over and asked if he could kiss me, like a proper gentleman, and I said yes."

Morgan Evans and Kelsea Ballerini's wedding was unconventional.
Evans and Ballerini got married on December 2, 2017 on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
They had 100 guests and they all toasted to their marriage with a tequila shot. Ballerini said the tequila shot is “a little bit different, but that’s how we started.”
The wedding was simple and it definitely had a personal touch. Ballerini said, “We’re not ‘wedding people,' It’s more being married that we’re stoked about.”
They even wrote each other adorable handwritten vows.
Evans remembered the moment saying, “Kelsea’s vows were, as you would expect, poetic, sweet — like, mind blowingly good. Our officiant was like, ‘Hey, Morgan, beat that!' I said mine, and I was going to finish with a few lines of the first song I wrote for her [‘Dance with Me’]. I got halfway through them, and she started to lose it, then I started to lose it — so I ended up having to cut it a little bit short!”
During the ceremony, the couple got lost in each other's eyes that they “forgot to tell the guests to sit down, so they stood the entire ceremony!”
At the end of their wedding night, they invited their guests to take an impromptu swim in the pool and said it was “a perfect end to a perfect night.”

Ballerini also said that, “People are like, ‘your clock is ticking.’ Seven kids feels really aggressive, I’m so new to all of this world and I’m still really young. It’ll happen one day, I really want to. We both really want to.”
