Page Six reported that an insider said that Kelsea, 29, allegedly cheated on her now-ex-husband with The Chainsmokers member Drew Taggart.
The rumored infidelity is said to have taken place back in August 2019 during Lollapalooza in Chicago.
During the music festival, The Chainsmokers and the country starlet teamed up on stage to perform their 2018 hit This Feeling.
A source close to Drew claimed he was single during their collaboration- though Kelsea was two years into her marriage to Morgan at the time.
Kelsea reportedly waited until 2021 to come clean to Morgan about the alleged incident.
The U.S. Sun reached out to Kelsea and Drew’s reps for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
The Billboard Music Award winner has given some insight into what led to the end of their relationship.
She appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast, during which she discussed the downfall of her marriage.
The star held very little back during the interview, even pinpointing the moment she knew her marriage was over.
BABY BLUES
Kelsea told podcast listeners that the breaking point in her marriage came when she realized that she “wasn’t ready for kids.”
She claimed her ex was eager to be a father but she did not share his enthusiasm.
The Knoxville, TN native said on the show: “That was something that we had talked about early on, and that was something that I was changing on.
“‘Because he was ready. He was like, ‘I don’t want to be an old dad,’ is what he kept saying. And I was like, ‘I’m not there yet, and I can’t do that to save this and give you something that I’m not ready for.'”

She then reflected on a visit with her doctor during which they discussed freezing her eggs.
The singer did not tell her then-husband about the visit beforehand, instead taking him out to dinner after the fact to discuss it.
Kelsea said she told Morgan she wanted to freeze her eggs when she turned 30, which was a year and a half away at the time.
She said on the show: “It was not a good day.
“And I think that was when I was like, there’s a fundamental difference here that has happened, that has shifted. And it’s no longer like, I don’t see this person, I miss this person, I’m alone, I’m lonely. It’s like, He wants something out of life…[and] I’m not there.”
Kelsea went on: “And whether I’ll get there or not, I don’t think it’s with this person if it is. And I think internally in hindsight, that’s where I went like, ‘I think maybe we need to rethink this, Kels.'”
She filed for divorce in August and their split was finalized in November.
The singer has since moved on with Outerbanks star Chase Stokes, whom she met after admitting to sliding into his Instagram DMs.
MORGAN’S STORY
After Kelsea’s episode of Call Her Daddy dropped, her ex-husband shared a statement refuting her recollection of events.
In the statement, posted on Instagram, he wrote: “It’s really sad for me to see this person, who I spent so much of my life with, and loved with all my heart, saying things that aren’t reality and that leave out what really happened.
“She knows I’m not the type of guy to speak on those things publicly. If this is what she needs to heal, I hope it helps.”
Morgan concluded: “All I ask is that if you’re on my pages, please don’t be mean. Don’t be mean to Kelsea, don’t be mean to each other.
“Life’s too short.”
