Kelsea Ballerini is reflecting on 2023.

This year, the 30-year-old country music star released her new EP Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album.

Kelsea also began a new chapter in her love life. Following her 2022 divorce from Morgan Evans, the “Mountain With A View” singer started dating Chase Stokes.

Keep reading to find out how Kelsea reflected on 2023…

On Sunday (December 31), Kelsea took to Instagram to share her thoughts on 2023.

“Three hundred and sixty five days,” she began. “Shouting on stages and them finally shouting back. Letting skin replace sequins. Sleepless nights rendering new dreams, in a little new old house with defiantly pink walls. Buzzing on table wine in ravello. chef says you dont add salt when cooking muscles, just lemon and herbs, says that’s how you honor the taste of the ocean.”

Kelsea continued, “Stretching for height, not contorting for approval.

Mike Roth's Merry Little Batman brings a kid-friendly and nostalgic addition to the DC animated universe that the whole family can enjoy. The film's animation style pairs perfectly with the story about a boy and his father. The most original aspect is the portrayal of Damian Wayne as an innocent, if overzealous, child, giving a fresh perspective on the character.

Mike Roth’s Merry Little Batman is a kid-friendly addition to the DC animated universe that the whole family can enjoy. The art style is reminiscent of 2010s Cartoon Network and is as hilarious as it is nostalgic, harkening back to Roth’s time on Regular Show. We have pretty much only seen one version of Damian Wayne up to this point, and Merry Little Batman is bold enough to flip the script on the son of Batman. The film is genuinely funny, and the voice acting is top-notch,...

"Merry Little Batman" deconstructs Batman and reveals his biggest failure as a father, adding a new layer to the character's complexity. The film focuses on Damian Wayne and his transformation into "Little Batman" on Christmas Eve, showcasing his determination to protect Gotham City. Luke Wilson, who voices Batman in the film, acknowledges the humor in Batman's flaws as a father, but the underlying tragedy remains significant and could be further explored in future adaptations.

An all-new Batman film, Merry Little Batman, was released on Amazon Prime Video on December 8, 2023, and finally admitted an 80-year-old flaw with the titular character. Suitably Christmas-themed, Merry Little Batman joins the many other DC animated movies of 2023. More so than Marvel, the company's biggest rival in the comic book world, the characters of DC tend to flourish in animated format as proven by the continued slate of DC's animated movies set for 2024.

Despite being an animated movie based on Batman,...

I love it when a Batman-centric project arrives animated and has a stylized design. Such is the case with Warner Bros. Animation’s family holiday movie Merry Little Batman, which takes the Caped Crusader and his son Damian Wayne and gives them an illustrative, Ron Searle-inspired coat of paint.

As if Prime Video hasn’t cornered the market enough regarding stellar superhero content, their acquisition of Merry Little Batman, along with a ton of other Batman-related projects, including the Bruce Timm/Matt Reeves/J.J. Abrams animated series Batman: Caped Crusader, from Warner Bros. Discovery, adds just a bit of power to the streamer’s greatness. One Zaslav’s trash is another studio’s treasure. The funniest part is that this is the best DC movie Warner Bros. didn’t even distribute this year. Ain’t that a killer joke?

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through Wayne Manor, precocious...

It's time to dive into the cast of actors and the characters they play in Amazon Prime Video's newest animated Batman movie, titled Merry Little Batman.

Abandoned by Max, Amazon Prime Video jumped in to host this animated movie, with Warner Bros. Animation chief Sam Register sharing the company's excitement to "partner with Amazon to begin an all-new animated chapter of Batman."

Directed by Mike Roth and written by Morgan Evans, this new story will exist outside of the DC Universe continuity built by Warner Bros., utilizing the Dark Knight's lore for a comedic Christmas-themed story under Prime Video's purview.

Home Alone meets Batman in Merry Little Batman, Prime Video’s thoroughly enjoyable dip into the DC Universe. The upbeat animated holiday film is filled with DC villains and other characters audiences have come to love through the decades. If only other DC movie held this much spunk, vigor, and cohesiveness. All eyes are on you now, DC Studio titans James Gunn and Peter Safran.

This tale gives us young Damian Wayne (Yonas Kibreab), a kid who so eagerly wants to be a superhero like his father, Batman a.k.a. Bruce Wayne (Luke Wilson). When a surprising series of events finds Batman heading off to thwart a potential disaster, Damian is left home alone, only to stumble upon a villainous plot to steal Christmas. Does he have what it takes to save the day?

The intriguing premise comes from writers Morgan Evans, Ethan Cohen, and Jase Ricci. Mike Roth (Regular Show) directs the outing,...

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes are still going strong more than six months after Stokes confirmed their relationship on the "Today" show. The beginning of 2023 was filled with rampant dating rumors for the country singer, 30, and "Outer Banks" star, 31, and they even battled breakup speculation shortly after going public.

Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini aren't hiding their love. The pair were spotted showing some Pda at Lax airport on Jan. 29, all but confirming their romance after several weeks of rumors.

Morgan Evans is using music to heal.

Et’s Rachel Smith spoke with the 37-year-old singer at the 2022 CMA Awards on Wednesday, and he revealed how his new track, “Over for You,” helped him get through his divorce from Kelsea Ballerini.

“It was a really rough time and writing the song helped sort through a lot of it,” he explained. “Sharing it was very vulnerable, but it was cathartic at the same time.”

Evans first debuted the song in September at the Cmc Rocks Qld Festival in Queensland, Australia. It was fans’ response to that performance that inspired him to release the track.

“I just shut my eyes and sang it. It just felt like something I needed to say at the time,” Evans told Et of first performing the song. “I didn’t know what was gonna happen, but afterwards my phone and the social media and the conversations I was having turned from,...

HBO Max continues its baffling decisions regarding its animated programming, with six animated projects no longer making their way to the direct-to-consumer streaming platform, TheWrap has confirmed.

Abrams and comic book luminary Ed Brubaker; “Did I Do That to the Holidays: A Steve Urkel Story,” an animated “Family Matters” spinoff; and two high-profile “Looney Tunes” features.

Morgan Evans, a video producer who has worked on series like Onion News Network and VH1’s Best Week Ever, is the creative mind behind The Untitled Web Series That Morgan Evans Is Doing For MTV.

Untitled Web Series follows its titular protagonist, played by Evans, as he looks to make it as an aspiring comedian. The long, winding title of Evans’ new series is almost identical to the name of the project Evans debuted in 2012 as part of New York’s long-running Channel 101 NY web series showcase. This time, he’s stapled “For MTV” onto the end of the title, signifying that, while the new version Untitled Web Series may still carry an indie vibe, it is backed and distributed by the Viacom-owned channel.
