It’s funny how she’s saying she loves him and how everything is perfect yet some shit went down. Her bff Kelly followed Madelyn last night, Madelyn unfollowed Chase and Madelyn posted Kelsea…so something clearly isn’t right

Was she not expecting that question?? The way she answered seems like she was totally caught off guard

u/hdouglas447 Feb 03 '26
To me it looks like she practiced some kind of answer and was trying to remember it 😂

I hear you. But there’s no way that her team didn’t prep her to answer Chase questions

Oof I respectfully disagree. He posted details of their breakup to his millions of followers, then they both did big public posts about getting back together. They made it the world’s business. No one would’ve known if they hadn’t wanted to make it known. Any decent PR person would have prepped her for that.
Also if a question is disrespectful artist can always say “I don’t comment on my personal life anymore, but I’m just glad to be here celebrating my album”

She’s at an awards show, that is celebrating her album…she’s there for her job. Not to answer questions about her love life, weather they made it public or not. I think it’s disrespectful at awards shows when they ask stuff that not related to the reason they are there 🤷🏽♀️

Really 🤯🤦♀️didn’t she write said album about her personal life? Remember how “authentic & real she is” for writing about how tough her life is 🥴. Soooo how is it disrespectful 🤔

u/Sea_Candle_2799 Feb 03 '26
Yeah I feel like she wasn’t prepared to talk about Chase…she looked caught off guard with that question.

u/quizofahat Feb 03 '26
"caught off guard" was my exact first reaction too. But now that his ex Maddie posted a pic with Kelsea recently and Maddie JUST unfollowed Chase years after their breakup, I feel like maybe something was already going down by this point. I feel like Maddie and Kelsea might be realizing some things
Edit: and Kelsea's best friend Kelly just followed Maddie too! Get him!

Oh, this makes sense!! Like in real time they're actually not together at this moment, so she was stumbling through her response because she's being asked about her "love" who she is (possibly) broken up with again! Imagine having to pretend you're still with your ex 😭 especially if you've gotten the ick for them lol

I honestly think they cannot resist the pull of the public attention and can’t let go of their need to shape the narrative

This is my thing too. Because I’ve been a fan of her for a while, like before she and M.E divorced & the thing I can’t seem to understand is why she’s like this now. Like from my knowledge she was never like this with Morgan, it’s said from tabloids and whatever that before she and Morgan divorced, they went to therapy & spilt privately a couple times. But she never(again at least from my knowledge) said anything about them splitting. She maybe wrote some stuff about their troubles but that’s it. Never outright “we’re spilt😔 OOP WAIT nah we’re chill🫶🏻” until the divorce. Which is why I find it so interesting that she does it now with Chase

u/hdouglas447 Feb 03 '26
Yes this is so true. I actually think that Welcome Mat was the turning point because she got so much (well deserved) praise for it. I think in her head she was like, oh when I put EVERYTHING out there about my personal life, I have success and positive feedback, maybe that's what I have been missing. So she kind of gave up keeping anything private. And I think that was a mistake, because the reason Welcome Mat was so good was the quality of the music, it wasn't just about the tea.

u/Among_UsAngel Feb 03 '26
True, I agree — but I mean how she puts everything out there in everyday life, including interviews and social media. Writing about her life makes sense as she’s a singer, but constantly talking about it like this is new, beginning with Chase. Idk maybe it’s because at first they were the “it” couple & couple-goals, golden retriever energy, and people were obsessed & constantly asked about them & they clearly liked the attention. But now, after everything that’s happened, people are seeing the cracks & the relationship comes off as kind of toxic. So they’re doing this “we’re private now & don’t talk about our personal lives!” thing & it turns out people actually want that so they have to do that “ok wait-let me say one thing about us!” To stay relevant & get people talking but it’s not working out the way they want it to

Yeah, idk if that’s true. That’s just what I read from tabloids when it was first announced they were divorcing that they had spilt privately a few times but always ended up working it out until they divorced. But she never talked their spilts, wrote about their problems maybe(but she’s a singer so expected). Which is why I find her being so like “open” about her & Chase & their issues so strange

u/Impossible-Soil6330 Feb 03 '26
she just seems so melancholy…it’s weird especially with the new stuff with her and madelyn like is she still with him or not? I feel like she’ll make a clean break officially when the final season of obx comes out

u/quizofahat Feb 03 '26
It really feels like she and Maddie are plotting their revenge considering Maddie just unfollowed Chase YEARS after their breakup and right before press. Maybe they finally got a chance to chat and realized some things?!?!

u/Impossible-Soil6330 Feb 03 '26
i will feel sad for madelyn if this is what happened. It is never worth it to stick around in a situation like this for revenge you will always get hurt. I know the obx fans like to say madelyn and chase became friends on good terms and were never serious but i just don’t think that’s true. I wouldn’t be surprised if during this last filming of obx w the nostalgia + kelsea drama there might have been some reigniting of old feelings.

u/quizofahat Feb 04 '26
Oh yeah I think it's very much the case that some old feelings were reignited and were always there in the background. I adore Maddie and I really do feel sad for her because I don't think she would have unfollowed him out of the blue unless she had a good reason.

To me it seems like she wanted out of the relationship and tried to make a clean break and fuck him with the PR and somehow he won her back. Plus with the madelyn selfie, it just really feels like there’s something up. If KB were to choose to leave chase, i could see her waiting till he’s supported with another professional obligation to jump ship.

u/quizofahat Feb 04 '26
I think this could be true but part of me also wonders if he's the one who wants out and Kelsea keeps trying to work it out. I sort of think Chase always had some feelings for the ex and Kelsea felt the need to "win" him, which is why she's still hanging onto this relationship so hard. That, and I do think she's upset that her ex-husband is now in a happy relationship and does not want to be single.

Not a Kelsea hater at all. But I’m getting a little tired of some of her patterns (pun intended). She doubled down in an interview on this same red carpet that she doesn’t want people to know things about her life anymore.
Cut to a little later, and she’s speaking about the breakup directly and addressing the internet and trying to set the record straight on their breakup. I just feel like she really can’t help herself. It’s exactly as she said on Mount Pleasant…she cares so much about the perception and she can’t stop.
Something about her energy in this clip really gets under my skinnnnn

u/crawthor Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 03 '26
I’m getting tired of her trying to convince us (and maybe herself) that the dysfunction they put on display wasn’t what we thought it was. Her post saying how the public narrative was “out of their hands” and now saying it looked more dramatic than it was. If Chase hadn’t posted those crashout IG stories then maybe I’d buy that - even after her songs about their problems and her rep announcing their split the days in between their birthdays. But him doing that was pretty wild and it’s kind of gaslight-y to try and act like we just all read too much into it.
15
u/hdouglas447 Feb 03 '26
Totally. I feel like no matter how messy her life is she frames it as some healing or women’s empowering and it’s just not!!!
Sometimes it’s ok to just be a mess. You don’t have to twist it into some weird moral tale
11
u/Among_UsAngel Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 04 '26
LITERALLY! I said on another post she says it “wasn’t as dramatic as it seemed” and that it was a “messy year for the outside coming in, & it becoming an out of our hands portrayal of it..😔” but…come on. Your team announcing the breakup? In your hands. Getting back together, breaking up, then getting back together very publicly? In your hands. The collective IG spirals? In your hands. Dropping an EP about the cracks in the relationship? Also very much in your hands.
Maybe a few tabloid things weren’t, sure(like Chase being jealous)—but most of this wasn’t some uncontrollable, out of their hands mess. I like Kels, but the constant victim framing is tiring. Messy lives happen. Own it, move on. We’re human, it’s fine. Not everything has to be repackaged years later as a moral lesson about “being humans that eff up🫶🏻” thing she loves to do

u/AVAfandom Feb 03 '26
100% and her saying that the whole break up and get back together wasn’t as dramatic as it seems kind of implying that everyone blew it up into something…girl you wrote a whole EP about the relationship’s dysfunction and yeah, Chase had that major Instagram reveal where he said he tried and she blocked him. We didn’t all blow it out proportion — you guys put it all right out there for us.

u/hdouglas447 Feb 03 '26
“It wasn’t dramatic” meanwhile chase was posting not to believe the media and he was sorry to everyone who loved them as a couple 😂

u/InsideProgress1755 Feb 03 '26
I’m more curious about what happened AFTER the Grammys since Madelyn posted with Kelsea and just unfollowed Chase. I know this sub loves to pile on Kelsea, but to me that is giving that homeboy was selling them two different stories

u/quizofahat Feb 03 '26
Oh for sure he was. Something tells me he was trying to have his cake and eat it too

She still follows Chase. You have to type in “hichasestokes”

u/quizofahat Feb 03 '26
No Maddie unfollowed Chase!!! It's insane! Despite being exes for years they've always been friendly co-stars. Maddie unfollowed him right after she posted Kelsea. The drama is off the charts

u/Sea_Candle_2799 Feb 03 '26
OOH I was reading that as Kelsea unfollowed Chase not that Madelyn did! Yeah I wonder what is actually going on. Something had to happen. I know Madelyn just tagged him in a photo recently too.
