"Well it's official. After dating for nearly two years, and gaining a lot of attention through out it, the country super star couple, Chandler Hart and Neil Perry of The Band Perry, have offically spilt. Our sources say it wasn't pretty either. While in Vegas together 2 weeks ago for the ACM's it appears things got pretty heated between the couple, even causing Chandler to leave the country music festivities a day early to go back to Nashville. We asked what everyone thought about this on our Twitter page, and a lot of the fans weren't happy about this break up. A lot of the fans were looking forward to country music royalty lasting forever... and so were we! Hopefully, the pair can work it out and it won't affect each others careers. Until then, we wish them the best! That's all for tonight! Tomorrow we will have more updates on couples, and Neil and Chandler, but to keep even more up to date info on celebrity news just follow our Twitter page-"

That's when I clicked the TV off. Leaving me alone in a dark, empty room. I couldn't stand listening to some celebrity gossip news host go on and on about Chandler and I's relationship. It made my sick to my stomach to even think about the past two years spent with Chandler.

I met her at a country music New Faces show in Nashville about 2 years ago. Our label had signed us both at the same time and our careers were both just getting started. We immediately became very good friends, but then we started dating. At first, Chandler and I kept it private. We liked it best like that. But then our label found out about it and used it more for publicity and made us go public with it. Their plan definitely worked because immediately we both started receiving a lot of attention for it. That's when both of our careers started to take off also. Chandler was the new queen of country music because of her upbeat country-pop hits. Everyone loved her. Kimberly, Reid, and I had amazing success on country and even pop radio too!! Chandler and I were on top of the world. Everyone beileved in us...we were like the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt of country music. But I threw that all away 2 weeks ago. I was stupid and let Chandler slip through my fingers. I've called her everyday since that night in Vegas and she still hasn't picked up my calls. I don't know if I'll ever get her back, or ever even talk to her again. All that I do know is I'm devastated, the fans are sad... and I still love her.

I guess its over when its over.

"What are you doing?" My older sister, Kimberly asked as she came into the room.

I sighed throwing my iPad aside, "Just looking at this news article on Chandler and I. They are making up all these crazy stories about how we are back together," Kimberly pursed her lips together waiting for me to finish, "I don't know.. Do you think I made a mistake Kimberly?"

She smiled, her sweet southern accent was ever present, "Well, I think they say if you love something.. Set it free. Everything happens for a reason."

I smiled, because Kimberly always gives the best advice. As much as I didn't want her too, she helped me through our breakup. Reid too. I couldn't ask for a better family, "You're right. I guess it's over when it's over."

That answer seemed to satisfy Kimberly because she jumped to her feet and offered me a hand, "Exactly! Now, alright c'mon! We have to get to our meeting with Scott!"

Oh right! I totally forgot! We were headed into Nashville today to have a meeting with Scott Borchetta, our record label executive, about our summer tour, and then a fall heading tour. And I honestly couldn't be more stoked about it. The whole tour process is so exciting. It's kind of what The Band Perry lives for. And I couldn't wait to start it all again.
