On Saturday, Allen took to Twitter to write, “Dear Nashville, I came to you in 2007 chasing this music dream. Thank you for the memories we made over the years. It’s time to move on now but I’ll be back to visit for sure. Take care.”
A fan responded to Allen’s tweet speculating that he could be moving to Los Angeles. However, the singer clarified that he’s actually moving to Florida. He also responded to a fan who suggested he was “pulling a Taylor Swift move.”
