Chase Wright on Breakup Songs, Taylor Swift's Wedding, and Happily Ever After

How do you release a breakup album… the day before your wedding? Chase Wright did exactly that. In this episode of "Around Town with That Nashville Girl," Chase opens up about the story behind Chasing Shadows, the album he finished just before marrying the love of his life. He shares why writing those songs became therapy, how his wife navigated hearing heartbreak songs while planning a wedding, and why he now performs them from a place of gratitude instead of pain. We also talk about marriage, fatherhood, faith, building a career in country music, and why Chase’s daily devotionals have become such an important part of both his life and his fans’ lives. As always, there’s plenty of fun too. Chase performs an acoustic version of “Find Myself," steps behind the bar at JBJ’s as our celebrity bartender, mixes up a Lost Highway and an Old Fashioned with varying degrees of confidence, and proves he’s just as likable off stage as he is on it. We also chat about Super Bowl 2030 Halftime predictions, Taylor Swift's wedding, and so much more! Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering Chase Wright for the first time, this episode is full of great stories, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that sometimes the hardest chapters of our lives become the ones we’re most grateful for.
