Kelsea Ballerini celebrated her 30th birthday Tuesday, Sept. 12, with a debut performance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, delivering a stripped-down rendition of ‘Penthouse’ off Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good).
The country star serenaded the audience from the VMAs’ outdoor stage with a moving performance backed by a pianist and full string section. Standing in a flowing white gown, Ballerini effortlessly ran through the emotional song while the audience sang every word back to her. Ahead of the bridge, the Tennessee native paused to switch into a black mini dress.

A bouquet of characters somehow duller than the whole “being stuck at home” ordeal of the 2020 Covid lockdown itself makes up the story of “Life Upside Down,” and it really wasn’t a story worth telling. As any epoch-making event would, the pandemic galvanized a whole movement in the world of cinema and incited the creation of quite a few magnificent manifestations of its effect on people. If you remember the insufferable rendition of Lennon’s “Imagine” by certain socio-politically tone-deaf celebrities and you can recall how unnecessary and ineffective that was, “Life Upside Down” may just evoke the same feeling in you. A picture of the lives and conflicted relationships of a bunch of upper-middle-class snobs painted in a way that is even more tedious than its exhausting subjects, ‘Life Upside Down’ will live on as a paradigm of “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”
