Kelsea Ballerini took to Twitter late Tuesday to update fans on her two-day battle with a bat inside the home she shares with Morgan Evans.
“For those asking, Im 99% sure the bat flew out overnight whilst it had full ownership of the entire upstairs and we had the couch,” the singer tweeted. “I can’t confirm, but it’s looking promising. Thanks for your concern. It looks like we finally won the BATtle.”
The war with the winged mammal began Monday. Ballerini reported that just as she and Evans “got all cozy in bed, a BAT flew out of SOMEWHERE in the BEDROOM and now we can’t get him OUT and although he’s little and cute he’s STILL HERE.”
Ballerini then shared video of the creature zipping around their bedroom.

“It’s the fact that I optimistically called this bat cute 10 minutes ago and now he’s FLOWN behind the MANTEL and won’t come OUT so I’m sleeping on the couch for the foreseeable future for me,” she wrote.
Her fear turned to concern for the bat. “I just put out water for the bat because 1) I want to coax him out of his hiding spot and 2) I feel SAD THAT HES HAD TO FLY SO AIMLESSLY FOR AN HOUR AND HES PROBABLY PARCHED I am unstable.”

Ballerini updated fans into the wee hours of the morning. “…still in comBAT” she tweeted at one point, later sharing a video showing Evans trying to capture the critter using a long-handled net.
“update- still in the room, bat is tired, we are tired, it’s a standoff. WHO WILL BREAK. me. That’s who,” she tweeted.
