The world was obsessed with actor Chase Stokes and singer Kelsea Ballerini’s love story, but thanks to some truly surprising statements from Chase shared to Instagram this week, it looks like they’re about to go through a very public breakup.

And Sunrise on the Reaping, the upcoming Hunger Games prequel movie, has released its highly anticipated first trailer. Now we need to talk about how fan casting played a part and why this is the only teen franchise that’s still kicking.
