The love birds hit the red carpet for a quick PDA sesh at the 2024 CMT Music Awards, too. Here, Chase’s body language “speaks volumes,” according to Donaldson. The way he subtly holds Kelsea’s chin showcases that Chase wants her, but that their connection is more than lust. It’s basically him saying “you’re my person,” Donaldson explains.

In terms of Kelsea’s gestures, “there’s a little bit of shyness” seen in the small gap in between them, since her arm is relaxed, but not pulling Chase in towards her. Despite Kelsea’s public shyness, “it looks like she’s present with him, she wants to be there with him,” Donaldson adds. Plus, the fact that both their eyes are closed as the couple kiss signifies that they’re completely absorbed in this moment together as if to say, “the only thing that matters is us,” she says.

All in all, Kelsea and Chase are in a great spot in their ‘ship. “No matter what they’re doing, their intention is to be as physically close together as much as possible,” Donaldson says, which shows that they’re connected on not only a physical level, but also an emotional one.
