HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Carrie Underwood is speaking out about her break-up with Chace Crawford, admitting the couple called it quits via text messaging.
“It was completely mutual,” Underwood told Extra at Sunday night’s taping of “Idol Gives Back.” “We’re both fine. We broke up over text so … it’s like ‘peace out.’ “
Underwood says the couple’s relationship ended almost two months ago, which has made the present more difficult because it’s like “rehashing old stuff.”
“I don’t know why all that’s out now,” she said.
As for the reason behind the couple’s break-up, Underwood said the relationship had simply run its course, saying, “It just didn’t work and we both knew it didn’t work. [There were] no hard feelings at all, whatsoever. [It was] no big deal.”
While they haven’t spoken recently, Underwood said the two remain on good terms.
“I haven’t talked to him in awhile, but I don’t dislike him,” she said of the “Gossip Girls” star.
Underwood admits that being in the public spotlight can be challenging, particularly when it comes to dating.
“It’s difficult while you’re dating because people always make a lot bigger deal of things than they actually are,” she said.
As for what’s next for the “American Idol” winner, the 25-year-old singer, who will become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry on May 10, said she’s taking it one day at a time.
“I’m pretty much just going with it,” she said. “I try not to set too many goals for myself. I’m just enjoying what I have and what I’m doing. I love what I’m doing.
“I’m just going with it and seeing what’s around the corner, because I get surprised everyday by something.”
