9. Dated a Country Star

Savannah dated country star Blaire Hanks for two years. She announced their breakup in a Facebook Live video in January 2017. “It hurts, it does because for me he was that definition of just my first true love and I’m trying to stay strong y’all,” she said “I hope that you will please do me a favor and don’t send negative vibes to him. He doesn’t deserve that. We are young. We had our young love. It wasn’t my fault. It wasn’t his fault. There were faults on both sides.”

8. Has a Clothing Line 

Savannah launched a clothing line with the Home Shopping Network (HSN) in July 2017 called Faith Over Fear. She was only 19 at the time! The clothing line included loose-fitting slogan tees, distressed denim and shoulder-baring cutout tops. According to the budding fashion designer, her goal was to create a modest but trendy clothing for all ages. “I feel like so many people, especially my generation and younger, we let our fear consume us so much that we just don’t purse our dreams,” she said of her fashion line. “So for me, [I] let my faith be bigger than my fear of something not happening. That’s my reasoning: I’m going to let my faith I have in this project be so much bigger than the fear I have in it not working out that I’m just gonna let it succeed.”

7. Scary Car Accident

In January 2017, the Chrisley Knows Best star was in a serious car accident, which left her with a broken vertebra. According to her, the accident happened after her floor mat got stuck behind one of the pedals and she slammed into a guardrail. “I got in a car accident early Monday morning because my floor mat had gotten stuck behind my pedals so I looked down for a brief second to try and get it out of the way and then I realized that I was headed straight towards the guardrails….I tried to over correct but it didn’t help. As soon as I hit the guardrail my airbags came out and because of the airbags and seatbelt the injuries weren’t near as bad as they could have been,” she wrote on Instagram.

6. Brief Relationship with an NBA Player

The reality TV starlet briefly dated NBA player Luke Kennard in 2017. The couple broke up after just four months of dating and her statement following the split seemed to indicate that Kennard did something wrong.“The last 4 months I’ve been dating Like have been great but as a young woman of faith I made the decision that with where Luke and I both are in our careers, it was best to part as friends rather than deal with the pressures of wondering if you are the only one,” Savannah said in a statement. “I was brought up to know my worth. I’m 20 now and so excited to live my life as beautifully as God intended. I will forever love the Kennard family.”

1. Bella Thorne Feud

Savannah seemed to be in a feud with Bella Thorne in 2017 over a boy, NBA player Chandler Parsons. She had been hanging out with Parsons and had said that it could be the start of something romantic; however, that changed when Thorne was spotted courtside at one of his games in a fishnet ensemble with Parsons’ jersey number painted on her face. Savannah seemed to slam Thorne in a couple of tweets. “Nanny always said: ‘If you lie down with dogs, you’ll get up with fleas.’ #ruffruff,” and “Girls want attention. Women want RESPECT … I choose to be a woman. Don’t be THAT girl.” She then went on to Instagram Live and seemed to take a dig at Bella’s fishnet outfit, commenting that fishnets are best worn as part of a Halloween costume. In response, Thorne liked a tweet where a fan called Savannah out for shading Thorne instead of addressing her directly.
