Kelsea Ballerini isn’t afraid to call out disrespectful behavior at her concerts. **

The country singer and *Voice* judge, 32, slammed a concertgoer who chose to shout her ex-husband Morgan Evans’ name while she was in the middle of performing her song “Penthouse” at her Dec. 6 concert in Sydney, Australia. **

“Team Morgan,” the fan can be heard yelling in video footage from the event posted online.

The taunt immediately caught Ballerini’s attention. “F--- off!” she responded, before rolling her eyes and taking her microphone off of its stand. **

Walking toward the audience, she added, “Team everyone's happy.” With a big smile, she proceeded to give a thumbs up to the crowd before flipping them off.

“Penthouse” is one of several songs featured on Ballerini’s EP *Rolling Up the Welcome Mat*, which was written and recorded in the wake of her 2022 divorce from the Australian singer-songwriter. **

The track features lyrics that include: “It hurts putting s--- in a box / And now we don't talk / And it stings rolling up the welcome mat / Knowing you got half.”

In an Instagram Story after the concert, Ballerini threatened to pull "Penthouse" from all future set lists if people continue to ruin it for everyone else. **

“Respectfully, if anyone yells anything disrespectful to anyone during this song again, it will no longer be on the setlist,” she wrote. “Please let this be a song that matters to people and not a place to insert yourself into a world that doesn't exist and was never yours to begin with.”

She concluded, “Team everyone's happy or bust, please."

Ballerini filed for divorce from Evans after nearly five years of marriage in August 2022, PEOPLE reported. The exes first met while co-hosting Australia’s CMC Awards in March 2016, got engaged that December, and were married in Mexico the following year.

After their split, Ballerini went on to date *Outer Banks *actor Chase Stokes for nearly three years before they, too, went their separate ways this September. **

The “I Sit in Parks” singer is currently on the final leg of her Patterns tour, which is set to conclude on Dec. 13.
