Sitting on a bar stool, wearing all white, her hair in an up-do with tendrils framing her face \u2014 much as a bride might look \u2014 country singer Kylie Morgan tenderly sings into a microphone, her eyes closed, in a video posted Thursday to Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cLet me just read my personal diary on stage real quick & try to get through it\u201d the caption over the video reads, followed by a sad eyes emoji.<\/p>\n \u201cI said yes, I wore white, \u2018til death wasn\u2019t a lie, cause a part of me had to die keeping it alive, ball and chain, four walls,\u201d Morgan sang. \u201cI felt trapped in my own home soon as I got out, swore I was better off alone, my heart had turned to stone …\u201d<\/p>\n It was the first time, Morgan wrote in her Instagram post, that she had performed her new song, \u201cThen You Happened,\u201d<\/a> live. <\/p>\n After two years of marriage and after separating late last year, she and fellow country singer Jay Allen announced in May they had gotten divorced. People magazine reported<\/a> the divorce was finalized May 22.<\/p>\n \u201cI almost couldn\u2019t finish the song because of so many emotions (appreciate everyone there who was so sweet to me about tearing up),\u201d Morgan wrote. \u201cWriting songs about your life is terrifying. Reading the world [my] diary is like bleeding on paper and singing it for all to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n One thing that helps, Morgan wrote, is fans\u2019 reactions. <\/p>\n \u201c \u2026 reading all of your \u2018then you happened\u2019 stories & seeing how it has become a healing anthem for so many of you makes every negative and mean comment worth it,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
