In 2015, an 18-year-old Savannah Chrisley posted a photo on Instagram that was taken during the Miss Tennessee Teen USA pageant. It showed her posing on stage during the swimsuit competition, and some of her Instagram followers were surprised to see her rocking a bikini. Many of them even mentioned her father, Todd Chrisley, in the comments section. "How the hell did todd approve this," wrote one Instagrammer, while another message read, "Todd must have had a heart attack." A third commenter quipped that they "expected" Savannah's dad to "run out with a robe." Meanwhile, another person complained that pageants "are demeaning."

Despite the negative feedback, Savannah won the pageant, even though she suffered what she described as a "dress crisis." A few months later, she made it to the semi-finals while competing for the title of Miss Teen USA 2016. By then, the Miss Universe organization had decided to remove the swimsuit competition from the pageant (via USA Today). However, Savannah continued to make waves by sharing bikini pics on Instagram. 

In February 2020, she posed for a selfie while rocking a tie-dye two-piece. In response, one critic commented, "Liked when you dressed more Conservative." Others sided with Todd Chrisley when he suggested that his now-adult daughter was wearing far too little material. "Looks like you ran out of cash and couldn't afford the rest of the fabric for that suit, I hear they make amazing coverups, want me to send you a few?" he snarked in the comments.
