Chase’s life hasn’t been the same since, he told the anchors. Back at school, "It was crazy," Chase said. "It took me like five minutes to get to one class down the hallway. They were just fist-bumping me, high-fiving me -- everyone's like 'I'm so jealous.'"
When the Grammy-winning singer asked how the smooch would be taking place, Chase replied plain and simple: “Lip to lip.”
“This is the smartest kid ever!” said Underwood. She and the crowd laughed.

Said Chase on TODAY: "I wasn't just going to go up there and get just a little kiss on the cheek. If I'm going to get it, I'm gonna get it right.”
