The country music world was stunned earlier this year when new broke that Jay Allen and Kylie Morgan had gotten divorced.<\/p>\n
The performers were a popular young couple, and in the immediate fallout from the news some criticized Allen for making the announcement before Morgan was ready for it to get out there. And Allen, well \u2026 she did not say a whole lot for a while.<\/p>\n
But she is certainly letting her music speak for her now, and it\u2019s clear there is plenty of emotion there. Morgan made that clear this week when she shared a video to Instagram on Thursday that showed her signing her song<\/b><\/a>, \u201cThen You Happened,\u201d live for the first time. <\/p>\n \u201cI almost couldn\u2019t finish the song because of so many emotions (appreciate everyone there who was so sweet to me about tearing up),\u201d she wrote along with the video. \u201cWriting songs about your life is terrifying. Reading the world (your) diary is like bleeding on paper and singing it for all to hear. You (open) the door to opinions (and) hateful words, and criticism from people who don\u2019t even know you, your battles, or your real story. <\/p>\n \u201cIt never gets easier but reading all of your \u2018then you happened\u2019 stories & seeing how it has become a healing anthem for so many of you makes every negative and mean comment worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n The song includes the lyrics, \u201cBall and chain, four walls\/ Felt trapped in my own home \/ Soon as I got out \/ Swore I was better off alone \/ My heart had turned to stone \/ Then you happened to walk in \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Taste of Country reported that Morgan and Allen began dating in 2015, and were married in 2022. The site said they separated in October of 2024, and she filed for divorce on Valentine\u2019s Day this year with everything finalized on May 22.<\/p>\n Allen was the first to announce it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s with peace in my heart that I feel it\u2019s time to share this,\u201d he wrote on Instagram in May. \u201cKylie and I separated 6 months ago and made the decision to get divorced.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been on a journey of sobriety, healing, growing, leaning into God and I\u2019ve moved on,\u201d he added. \u201cI will always care for Kylie & wish her the best \u2026 GOD\u2019S PLAN IS GREATER. *Proverbs 3:5-6\u201d<\/p>\n Morgan remained relatively quiet, though, and fans seemed to believe that Allen shared the news before she was ready. <\/p>\n \u201c(Expletive), dude,\u201d one person responded to Allen\u2019s post. \u201cI always try to be neutral and stay out but this ain\u2019t it. You feel it\u2019s \u2018time to share this\u2019 because it feels right for YOU, but you post this without her knowledge or consent, so she\u2019ll wake up to chaos & the drama \u2026 but you will \u2018always care\u2019 and \u2018wish her the best\u2019? (I don\u2019t know) dude this feels a bit selfish to do with no heads up. I wish you peace but this really breaks my heart to see on the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe all knew but I don\u2019t think she was ready to share this \u2026\u201d another responded. \u201cWhen my husband and I separated for a while he deleted our pictures before I was ready to \u2018tell the world\u2019 and it made me resent him. Not saying this is Kylie\u2019s perspective but I am just saying relationships are hard and it\u2019s harder when one person is ready to share and the other is not \u2026 I hope you both find peace and healing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI do wish you the best of luck but honestly, you should not have posted this message before sharing a story where you are holding hands with another woman,\u201d another wrote. \u201cHonestly I lost a little respect for you when you posted that. If you\u2019re ready to post another woman then you should be able to post the truth about the last one.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSorry, God\u2019s plan is not that you and your wife separate when your baby is 3+ months old,\u201d another wrote. \u201cKeep praying. Yes, I recognize zillion people are going to come at me. I\u2019m not judging you for what (is) happening I\u2019m judging you for saying this is part of God\u2019s plan. Keep praying ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and your wife.\u201d<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
