The “Love Me Like You Mean It” artist revealed she moved to New York City when she performed in the Evening with the Grand Ole Opry lineup at Carnegie Hall. Ballerini said at the time, “I just moved here. Ever since I was a little kid and I got to come here for the first time I always promised myself that I would do a season or a chapter of life in the city and that season and chapter is right now. I don’t know how long that’s gonna last, but I’m really loving it. …You can take the girl out of Nashville, but you can’t take the Nashville out of the girl.”

“I’m in love with it here,” Ballerini said during an appearance in on TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle April. “I want to make my next record up here. But down the road, I don’t know. I really am loving it. It’s just such an alive place. It’s so creative. ...I’m loving this chapter of life just because I really feel like I’m being really intentional about connecting to myself,” she added later of her current chapter, including being single. “Also, being off the road right now, this is my first time not touring in a while, and being somewhere new and making new friends. I just haven’t had the time to invest in myself like that for a while.”
