Ballerini posted a video of herself listening to an Ariana Grande song, “Shut Up,” on TikTok, and added an additional request in the caption.
“cc speculators, “sources,” and hidden cameras outside the hair salon. let us be. please,” the singer wrote.
That message appeared to go out to anyone speculating about her split from “Outer Banks” star Chase Stokes, who she dated for almost three years.
Sources close to the couple told People Magazine on September 14, “They’re two adults who gave it their all and tried to do everything they could to make it work, but ultimately couldn’t. It happens.”
