SignalHub-Why Kelsea Ballerini Doesn't Watch Boyfriend Chase Stokes' Show Outer Banks 

Kelsea Ballerini is saying sorry to the residents of the Outer Banks.

Because while using a TikTok filter in which she had to rank the characters on  OuterBanks SignalHubthe series, including boyfriend Chase Stokes’ John B, it soon became clear Kelsea wasn’t up to date on the Neflix series, prompting a user to suggest in the comment section of the Oct. 11 TikTok that she watch the whole show.

“Because he and i have a deal!” she wrote, before adding of the show’s new fourth season, “But i’ve seen so much of this season and it’s badass. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS YOUR HONOR.”

But despite missing most of John B’s escapades, Kelsea went on to rank the characters in the series, chalking it up to knowing the actors in real life.

“First of all, the ranking system is not going to work for me at all, it’s not going to serve me here,” she said in the video. “It’s just the first filter I saw, and I wanted to just post about the show.”

Kelsea tried her best, acknowledging that she knows that they don’t like John B’s father and put him in the 10th slot, and that she “stans Madelyn Cline/Sarah Cameron in this house.”

The ranking system finally worked out in her favor when an image of Chase as John B popped up and she could put him in the top spot.

“The bandana, the face, the him,” she gushed. “We stan.”

Ending the game, the “Blindsided” songstress still found a way to plug the Netflix series, that premiered its fourth season on Oct. 11.

“Well, I failed miserably at this,” Kelsea joked. “But I’m so excited for everyone happy season 4.”

Since they began dating in 2023, Kelsea and Chase, 32, have been public about their love and support for each other. But as Kelsea told E! News in September, they have their own lanes.

"You know what, his space is his space and mine is mine," she told E! News about the possibility of having a cameo on Outer Banks, "and being able to show up and support each other just as partners is so beautiful."

When it comes to Chase joining her in the studio, Kelsea said, "Never say never, I guess."
