Thought it would be fun to post my Mom's take on Chase's whole experience thru her words:
Chase and his friend Rylie bought tickets to go to the awards, and when they were checking in the person taking the tickets said we are rearranging seats, Chase thought "oh no" we'll be further back than what we thought and instead he sent them in on the first floor (their original tickets were for third balcony) anyway, they were used with several others to fill vacant seats (official name is seat fillers) according to Chase. Rylie ended up on the end of first row center and Chase 3rd row and two seats behind Taylor Swift in center. Chase got to meet her and get his picture taken with her. He was thrilled She took pictures with several of her fans during commercial breaks. We have watched the DVR seeing Chase jump up clapping and Rylie clapping in the front row as Taylor went on stage to accept award. Chase wore sports jacket & tie and Rylie Vest and tie. They will remember this for a very long time.
This is what my son Chase said: Ya it's a crazy story! No Photoshop no editing, just straight up from my LG Dare haha! Before I got the pic, I saw her come in from the other side of the building and made a quick decision. I grabbed a pen and wrote my name & number on my ticket. I was backstage and during comercial wen...t out to her seat. I kneeled down cuz everyone was sitting and ... See MoreI didn't want to cause a scene. Taylor was sitting & talking to someone in the row in front of her so I tapped her leg to get her attention. She turned around looked @ me. The loud speaker said there was 10 seconds left before cameras came back up, so I had to fly. I looked up & said "Hey, I'm Chase. I know this will probably never happen, but just in case.." Then I grabbed her hand and put my paper in it and said, "You're BEAUTIFUL!" and then booked back to the backstage!
So glad Chase had such an awesome time. He will remember this for a very long time.
