Kelsea Ballerini has made it clear that her body is none of anybody’s business.

After the 2020 CMA Awards last night, one Twitter user wondered if Ballerini might be expecting a new addition to her family. The singer set the record straight and also stressed that speculation about her pregnancy status is off limits.

“I’m sure you mean well, but it’s incredibly insensitive to ask or assume if another woman is pregnant,” the “Hole in the Bottle” singer pointed out. “I’m not, by the way. Just carrying around my organs.”

“If I were [pregnant], I’d want to share that in my own time when I felt ready,” she continued. “Let’s not judge bloat levels on the Internet.”

Ballerini, 27, told People magazine in 2017 that she and her husband, Morgan Evans, would like to have children one day but added that they're "not in a rush."

“It’s something we’re both stoked to do — someday down the track," she said.

Now, Ballerini is setting her sights on a fun new duet with Shania Twain. The singer recently shared that she and the country music legend are planning to drop a duet remix of Ballerini's current single, "Hole in the Bottle," this week.
