Stavast moved to Las Vegas where her then-fiancé Gavin Kelly also an American sportscaster who works for the NBC Sports, NASCAR, and Ind圜ar Series was living, when they got engaged in 2016. It is also possible that Stavast could be sitting out the rest her contract, but that has not been confirmed. She hasn’t appeared in any NBC Sports broadcasts ever since and it is currently unknown if Stavast was sidelined, or was let go the network. After footage of the interview went viral, the phrase 'Let's Go Brandon' became a political slogan and a meme to mock president Joe Biden as a minced oath. Stavast misquoted the chant as, ' Let's Go Brandon.' It is unclear whether she legitimately misheard the chant or whether she intentionally misquoted it.
